She looked at me with fire in her eyes
It’s plain to see something she don’t try to hide
She crossed the floor never even looking back
She slammed the door and now it’s hard to face that fact
As I sit here all alone with this bottle in my hand
Remembering a time that I was a happy man
But the bourbon, tears and pain they flow just like the rain
When you come to my mind and I start this thinking thing
I don’t wanna let you go, but the only way
I know to keep from going insane
Is the bourbon, tears and pain
It’s closing time and they push me out the door
And when I get home well I fall out on the floor
That’s when I get numb and I can finally fall asleep
And then here she comes – she’s always in my dreams
But whenever I wake up and I do it all again
I pour another cup cause the bottle’s my best friend
But the bourbon, tears and pain they flow just like the rain
When you come to my mind and I start this thinking thing
I don’t wanna let you go,
but the only way I know to keep from going insane
Is the bourbon, tears and pain
I’m going insane from the bourbon, tears and pain
