There's a tear in my beer Cause I'm cryin for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Into these last nine beers I have shed a million tears You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin' Until I'm petrified And then maybe, these tears will leave my eyes There's a tear in my beer 'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Last night I walked the floor And the night before You were on my lonely mind It seems my life is through And I'm so dog gone blue You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin
Til I can't move a toe And then maybe, my heart won't hurt me so There's a tear in my beer 'Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Lord, I've tried and I've tried But my tears, I can't hide You are on my lonely mind All these blues that I've found Have really got me down You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinkin 'Til I can't even think 'Cause in the last week, I ain't slept a week There's a tear in my beer 'Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind
