I just walked in and you were gone
To your Mama's I suppose
It looks like you won't be back 
So I thought you ought to know

I found that note you left today 
It only took you half a page
I'm gonna grab my old guitar take a pencil from the jar 
And fill in the empty space

I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof 
And write a song for you 
Like Kristofferson would do

In each line you're gonna hear 
It's my fault and I miss you
I know it won’t be in time it may not even rhyme
But it has to be is true

I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof 
And write a song for you 
Like Kristofferson would do

I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof 
And write a song for you 
Like Kristofferson would do

I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety proof 
And sing this song for you
Like Kristofferson would do
