lyrics

V1
I laid down for a snooze - how did I lose
Seven days? No way, no how.
Got into the booze, and that's my excuse
For passing out.
You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye.
Being so lonesome that you could cry.
She said 'The closet's for clothes.'
Yeah, she took most of those.
All she left was some pills and some rye.

V2
You see, my 'life partner', Faye, just walked away
From 3 years, 2 cars and 1 ring
No, not with a guy, but some chick with one eye
A portly thing.
You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye.
Being so lonesome that you could cry.
No blood left to give
My heart is a sieve
And there's nothing left to drip dry

V3
I went at it real hard with complete disregard
For my mind, my gut and my bones
I fell, hit my head, 'cause that pill bottle read:
'Testosterone'
You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye.
Being so lonesome that you could cry.
From this hospital room
It's clear that I'm doomed
And that's what she expects for this guy.

You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye.
Being so lonesome that you could cry.
Now, in the next gurney bed
My Faye is a Fred
With 5 o'clock shadow at 9.
