The Other Not Around was written by Buddy Dunlap. It was initially recorded on a record by the band Lonesome Highway in 2009 called The Highway Called.
"This song was written by my brother Buddy. We played it together for years while I was in Bud's Collective. I brought this one to the band because I felt we needed an up-paced bluegrass tune to add to the set, and this one fits right in there."
-Jack Dunlap
Lyrics
Lyrics:
There's an old dresser in our room it once belonged to you
You left it standing empty and alone and feeling like I do
And just like that old dresser you took all I had inside
And carried it with you out the door when you told me goodbye
Well I thought what we had dear was never gonna end
But now I'm left here wonderin' will my poor heart ever mend
But I want you to be happy and be where happiness is found
At least one of us will be with the other not around
Well I pray that maybe someday I can get you off my mind
And be a happy man again without you by my side
But this will never happen until I'm laid in the ground
Cause I will never smile again if I can't have you around
Well I thought what we had dear was never gonna end
But now I'm left here wonderin' will my poor heart ever mend
But I want you to be happy and be where happiness is found
At least one of us will be with the other not around
Well I thought what we had dear was never gonna end
But now I'm left here wonderin' will my poor heart ever mend
But I want you to be happy and be where happiness is found
At least one of us will be with the other not around
But I want you to be happy and be where happiness is found
At least one of us will be with the other not around
