Seems like a barroom tonight

Only place I can find to be alone

I'm too loaded for the highway

And there's dirty (funky) business going down at home

Ain't nobody can hear me talking

It''s just like talking to a stone (so I may as well moan)

And it seems like a barroom tonight

Only place I can find to be alone

 

Well my baby she done left me

Took my ride along

Only one who ever loved me

And now she's gone

Well she told me one day I'd wake up

And I'd find out I was wrong

Well my baby she done left me

Took my ride along

 

Hope this whiskey I've been drinking

Drive these blues away

It started out on Monday

And now I'm brokenhearted everyday

Well this barroom may be crowded

And nobody hears a word I say

And I hope this whiskey I've been drinking

Drive these blues away
