Since you’ve been gone
Moved out and moved on
My life is like an old Bocephus song
Got on my knees
And you told me not to waste my time
Then you threw out the roses
But you took the wine
Hard times and heartaches got me so hopeless
I’m so tired of hurtin’ from these Haggard Blues
So I think I’ll just stay here and drink
If the whiskey would wash you out of my mind
Girl I’d drown your memory
I’d pour out the pain
There’s no time for wine
Get me nothing but the finest from Tennessee
Drink after drink
Round after round
The further I keep sinking
So take me down
To the bottom of that bottle
Misery and gin
I think I’ll play it again
‘Cause you played my heart like an old violin
Your goodbye kiss, middle finger up
Sucker’s so long it’s got me no show Jones
And with a bottle of booze
Hard times and heartaches got me so hopeless
I’m so tired of hurtin’ from these Haggard Blues
So I think I’ll just stay here and drink
‘Cause you went and took the best of me
Let the rest of me
I’d have three sheets to the wind
Now my home is a honky tonk dance hall
Till they called last call
Hangin’ with my fair weathered friends
Pour me
Pour me
Pour me one more round and play me some Whitley
Pour me
Pour me
Pour me one more round
If the whiskey would wash you out of my mind
Girl I’d drown your memory
I’d pour out the pain
There’s no time for wine
Get me nothing but the finest from Tennessee
Drink after drink
Round after round
The further I keep sinking
So take me down
To the bottom of that bottle
Go on and take me on down
To the bottom of that bottle
Yeah I’m so tired of hurtin’ from those Haggard Blues
I feel like no show Jones with a bottle of booze
So tired of hurtin’ from these
Haggard Blues
