Barroom Lament

I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

I wish you'd take that bottle

And put it right back on the shelf

Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

I go down to the bar most every night

I go down to the bar most every night

The girls don't even notice and the boys all want to fight

But I go down to the bar most every night

The jukebox has not played my song in years

The jukebox has not played my song in years

On this same old barstool just backin' shots with beers

And the jukebox has not played my song in years

All my friends have gone so far away

Said all my friends have gone so far away

They all moved down to Austin

Lord I miss 'em night and day

And all my friends have gone so far away

I'm really not that funny anymore

I'm really not that funny anymore

I used to be a riot, now I just a lonely bore

And I'm really not that funny anymore

Do you think that I could stay in town with you

Do you think that I could stay in town with you

It's thirty miles to my place and I'm feelin' tired and blue

Do you think that I could stay in town with you

Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself

I wish you'd take that bottle

And put it right back on the shelf

Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
