Lyrics
You wonder if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I've heard
It seems since I seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the word
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinking in the afternoon
Well I guess I'm as happy as a clam
But if it's got a thing to do
With smiling or forgetting you
Well I don't guess that I could say I am
Did you ever see a down-and-outer
Waking up alone without
A blanket on to keep him from the dew?
When the water from the weeds
Has soaked the papers he'd been putting in his shoes
To keep the ground from coming through
And his future feels as empty
As the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feeling
Since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learning hard to live with losing you
You wonder if I'm better off
With the freedom now to do the things I choose
Well all my time's my own
And I've got nothing left but sleep and time to lose
There's no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Give a tanker's damn if I don't call
I'm living like I wanted to
And doing things I want to do
And nothing means a thing to me at all
Did you ever see a down-and-outer
Waking up alone without
A blanket on to keep him from the dew?
When the water from the weeds
Has soaked the papers he'd been putting in his shoes
To keep the ground from coming through
And his future feels as empty
As the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feeling
Since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learning hard to live with losing you
