Every Little Bit Counts Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

My thoughts were gnawing at me so I tried hard not to think 

I took a pint of whiskey and I poured it down the sink 

I'd get my act together, I swore it to myself 

I looked up at your picture and I knocked it off the shelf 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

Too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

I tried and I tried and I tried to be so good 

Wanted to be good, so bad 

I tried and I tried and I tried every trick I could 

Emptied out the whole damn bag 

But it was too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

I'm no longer choking on, the hair of the dog 

It's been a couple of weeks now since I came out of the fog 

The highs are slightly higher, the lows are just as low 

A mild improvement on the average even so 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Every little bit counts 

Though it may not count for much 

Could be long forgotten 

By the time you add 'em up 

Could be too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

Too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

Too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me 

Too little too late, sorry 

Too little too late for me
