It’s 3 a.m. ‘n this bar’s almost empty
‘N I’m sittin’ hear drinkin’
Doin’ a helluva lot of thinkin’
Tryin’ to forget she was my only one –
But it sure ain’t workin’
‘Cos this ol’ heart is still hurtin’
‘N there ain’t enough whiskey in Tennessee
To get such a hard job done…

The sun is sinkin’
It’s burnin’ ‘n goin’ down
‘N it’s gonna drag the moon with it
‘Til they both disappear ‘n drown

Baby, we had it made
Long lazy days in the shade
Before the Summer gave way to the Fall…
We thought our love was as strong as Rome
Before the Empire fell to its knees –
Now, the romance is gone
But the love lingers on
As I try to convince myself to believe, but

There are many kinds of wealth
That we can all possess
Some you hold in your hand
Some you keep hidden in a chest
