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
