lyrics

It's way past three
And I'm still here
Lying down waiting for the fog to clear
David Allan Coe's singing "Whiskey please take my mind"
Trying hard to leave it all behind

Well don't wait up
Cause I'm falling down
12 straight shots make the room spin round
Don't mess with someone whose problems are worse than your own
Sometimes you're better off on your own

Well here's my story
It's sad but false
I lost my heart to the girl who danced the Tennessee waltz
Her hair was yellow
And her eyes were the deepest blue
I swear to God she looked a lot like you
Well the dawn comes up
And the sun shines down
And Ruby's taken her love to another town
Where the lights are bright
And the signs say "We never close"
Right now we could all use one of those

Yeah the world fell apart brick by brick
My guardian angel took the day off sick
My hands keep shaking and there's nothing left to pour
And I can't even hear you any more
One more time before you close the door
Say goodnight to the face on the bar room floor
Say goodnight to the face on the bar room floor
