I Put Your Picture Away
Kid Rock · Other Songs - Kid Rock
Different girl every night at the hotel
I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried the day
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
(Sherly Crow)
I called you lastnight in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
(Kid Rock)
It was the same ole same "how have you been"
(Both)
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey
(Kid Rock)
You reminded me of brighter days
(Sheryl Crow)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was head of the church
(Kid Rock)
I was off to drink you away
(Both)
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't nderstand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'llc hange my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home
About I Put Your Picture Away
Kid Rock's "I Put Your Picture Away" stands as a defining track from his 2003 album *Cocky*, blending his signature hard rock energy with a distinct country-rock influence. The song features a driving rhythm section and a vocal delivery that showcases Rock's ability to merge his Texas roots with a polished, arena-ready sound.

Musically, the track serves as a testament to Rock's versatility, incorporating elements of Southern rock and Americana while maintaining the high-octane power associated with his career. It reflects the broader trend of rock artists integrating country instrumentation and lyrical themes, creating a hybrid style that resonated with a wide audience. The song remains a staple of his discography, often performed live to highlight his enduring connection to rock and roll traditions while evolving his sonic palette.
