1. There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm cryin' for you, dear You are on my lonely mind

2. Last night I walked the floor, and the night before You are on my lonely mind

3. Lord, I've tried and I've tried, but my tears I can't hide You are on my lonely mind

Into these last nine beers I have cried a million tears You are on my lonely mind

It seems my life is through and I'm so dog-gone blue 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 on sittin' here un - til I'm petrified

I'm gonna keep drinkin' 'til I can't move a toe

I'm gonna keep drinkin' 'til I can't even think

And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes

And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

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

There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind

There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind

There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind
