Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well two old red nosed whiskey drunks were talking politics
It was time to hit the bricks, it was time for me to go
And I was right there on the verge of pullin' out my hair
Actin' as though I could not care less and hopin' she would show
[Verse 2]
When my bags were packed and ready, I was feelin' like a wreck
Some clothes and personal effects, I left everything I owned
And the last I laid eyes on her, we were in a hotel hall
Holdin' hands like paper dolls, aw but here I sit alone
[Verse 3]
Well I'm gonna give it one more minute
Give me one more round of rum
Well I'm as empty as a drum, I'm as empty as a drum
Could you spare a cigarette, I hate to be a bum
But here's to hoping she'll still come, I'm too old to be this dumb
Well I'm too old to be this dumb
[Verse 4]
Well I tell you that bartender, she's a sight to see
Aw you'd be envious of me, least you would if she was here
And the kid there in the corner has been spoilin' for a fight
And it feels like that kinda night, aw buddy instead pour me a beer
[Verse 5]
And I'm gonna give it one more minute
Give me one more round of rum
Well I'm as empty as a drum, I'm as empty as a drum
And could you spare a cigarette, I hate to be a bum
Well here's to hoping she'll still come
I'm too old to be this dumb
Well I'm too old to be this dumb
[Verse 6]
When you darkened up the doorway, I stood up from the bar
Well I said, hey now here you are, damn it darlin', how are you?
And you kissed me
Said I can't say that I'm great, oh lord I hate it that I'm late
Oh, what a mess we got into
