There's a tear in my beer 'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear You are on my lonely 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 crying' for you dear You are on my lonely mind. Last night I walked the floor And the night before You are on my lonely mind. It seems my life is through And I'm so doggone blue You are 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 are on my lonely mind. Lord, I've tried and I've tried But my tears I can't hide 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 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 crying for you dear You are on my lonely mind.
