TEARS IN MY WHISKEY

 

The room is filled with smoke,

And the music is so damn loud!

I’m a lost soul dying in a crowd

With a heart, some woman broke!

The ice in the glass slowly melts

As I drown in my own sorrow –

She was just a notch on my belt.

I will find another by tomorrow!

The answers are in this glass,

And I will drown her memory!

Here is to them all, “Kiss my ass!”

If only her spirit would let me be –

Then I realized, this is about me,

And all the tears in my whiskey!
