I Might be Lyin’ in the Gutter Tonight (But I’ll be Lookin’ Up at the Stars)
It’s closin’ time – late in the evenin’
‘N all the barflies are headin’ home
The lights are goin’ down ‘n people are leavin’
But I’m sittin’ here as silent as a broken cell phone
‘N then I stumble out thru the back door
Draggin’ all these emotional scars…
I might be lyin’ in the gutter tonight
But I’ll be lookin’ up at the stars
Drinkin’ Tears With a Whiskey Chaser
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…
