There's a tear in the mud on the banks of the river And the sound of a lover's goodbye And a pain in my heart 'cause I could not forgive her That's as deep as the river is wide ♪ I'm lost, and I'm lonesome, when I look in the mirror I don't like the man that I see And the more that I look, the more it gets clearer Pride made a fool out of me So I drink all night But the hurtin' won't stop And every shot I take just turns into teardrops And I lay down to sleep And I pray I don't open my eyes ♪ To a whiskey sunrise ♪ The cold wind blows, the leaves start to scatter And the rain will be comin' on soon And everything's wrong and nothing don't matter The black cloud is crossin' the moon So I drink all night But the hurtin' won't stop And every shot I take just turns into teardrops And I lay down to sleep And I pray I don't open my eyes To a whiskey sunrise
