You Don't Know What You're Missing

Sittin' at the bar I overheard a couple guys, one was complaining About his life and his wife and everyday things Said, his kids were gettin' big and getting' hard to handle The other guy was sipping whiskey, wasn't saying a thing The first guy kept talking for what seemed like forever Said, I never have money or time like I used to He went on and on, till the second guy finally sat down his whiskey Looked him straight in the eye and said, lucky you. You don't know what it feels like living this lonely You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone The second guy said, I used to have all your problems But hindsight's 20/20 and a fool is blind So, please excuse me if I have to end our conversation And forgive me if I can't sympathize You don't know what it feels like living this lonely You don't know what it sounds like when nobody's home You've been talking and man, I've been doing some listening You don't know what you're missing, till it's gone You don't know what you're missing till it's gone --- You Don't Know What You're Missing - George Strait
