BUT I DROPPED IT
(Harlan Howard)

Conway Twitty - 1965



 
I was a man with the world in his hand, but I dropped it
A world of dreams, a world of plans but I dropped it
It didn't lay there very long, I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl, he put my world right in his pocket

All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough, I wasn't there enough and she got lonely

I was a man with the world in his hand, but I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans but I dropped it
And good things don't just lay around neglected on the ground
He took my girl, he put my world right in his pocket
He took my girl, he put my world right in his pocket
