There's a tear in my beer

'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear

You are on my lonesome 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 were 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 goddam blue

You were on my lonely mind



I'm gonna keep drinkin' till 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 cryin' for you, dear

You were on my lonely mind



Lord, I've tried and I've tried

But my tears I can't hide

You were 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 on drinkin' till I can't even think

'Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink



There's a tear in my beer

'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear

You were on my lonely mind
