Well it's bad enough the way I feel when I'm not stoned
But since you've gone I can't leave bad enough alone
And these heartaches are too real to be denied
But each night I try
Each night I try
Each night I try most anything that'll open up and pour
But each night I fail to hit the heartache I was aiming for
And though I'm never gonna drink my teardrops dry
Each night I try
Each night I try

Old Lloyd's become my pal he knows just what I want
He serves 'em strong, we joke, we howl
It's all a front
And each morning I wake and wonder that I don't die
And each night I try
Each night I try
Each night I try most anything that'll open up and pour....
Well I'm a man that won't give up
Till I give it just about everything I got
So if at first I don't succeed
I take another shot
And though I'm never gonna drink my teardrops dry
Each night I try
Each night I try
