Biography:
Gary Allan Herzberg (born December 5, 1967) is an American country music artist, known professionally as Gary Allan.
Allan was born and raised in La Mirada, California, to Harley and Mary Herzberg. To ensure that the family would focus on music, Allan's mother insisted that the family's guitars would always remain visible in the home. At age thirteen, Allan began playing in honky tonks with his father. Two years later, he was offered his first recording contract, from A&M Records, but rejected the deal.

the loneliness within me, takes a heavy toll,
Em G D

cause it burns as slow as whiskey, through an empty achin sole,
Bm D G Bm
and the night is like a dager, long and cold and sharp,
Em G D
G
as i sit here on the front steps, blowin smoke rings in the dark,
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
I..............know i must be going,
Bm G D A
Cause love...........s already gone
Em G D A G
and all im taking with me, are the pieces of my heart,
Em G D
and all i'll leave are smoke rings in the dark,
