Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm out on a tear
'Cause she's tearin' me apart
If I look rough on the outside
You oughta see my heart
And this look in my eyes
Shows beyond a doubt
That since my woman left, I'm down and out
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm down at the bar
Out of my mind
Tighter than an eight-day clock
With no way to unwind
That jukebox cries the blues
Like it knows what I'm about
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm down to my last dollar
But I don't really care
My friends have all got whiskey
And they don't mind if I share
They know how it feels
To have your heart torn inside out
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm down at the bar
Out of my mind
Tighter than an eight-day clock
With no way to unwind
That jukebox cries the blues
Like it knows what I'm about
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
[Verse 5]
Since my woman left
Since my woman left
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
