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
