Ashley McBryde Andy I Can’t Live without You (Story Behind the Song)

McBryde has often stated that Andy Sovine is her best friend, and they’ve never been romantically involved. However, their life together has given people that idea.  “I think people in town for a long time thought Andrew and I were together. I mean, I know they did,” she shared in an interview. “I joke with people: ‘This is why I don’t write love songs, guys, because that song is about my buddy.'”.

Ashley McBryde Andy I Can’t Live without You Lyrics

You drink my whiskey without asking
You put your boots up on my couch
Drives me crazy to remind you
More than once to take the garbage out

You use my good towels on the dog
And that’s the only thing I’ve asked you not to do
Most days I’d love to lock you out
I can’t live without you

The kitchen table ain’t for business
Wish you’d put the bills where they go
I guess you need an invitation
To the backyard to see that it needs mowed

You leave your whiskers in the sink
And I’ve told you till I’m black and blue
You never worry what our neighbors think
I can’t live without you

‘Cause you’ve got my back
Even when I’m wrong
You’re the only one who knows
Me and my heart can’t get along
I got some reasons to cry
I can’t tell you which one
But you don’t ask no questions
You just hold me till I’m done
And when I’m looking to fight you flat refuse
I can’t live without you

You’re always voicing your opinion
You play your guitar way too loud
God I reckon it would kill you
Lift a finger, help me clean this house
You know your jokes ain’t all that funny
But I’ll keep on laughing if you want me to
Nobody understands why I love you
I can’t live without you

You’ve got my back
Even when I’m wrong
You’re the only one who knows
Me and my heart can’t get along
Well I got some reasons to cry
I can’t tell you which one
But you don’t ask no questions
You just hold me till I’m done
And when I’m looking to fight you flat refuse
I can’t live without you
I can’t live without you
