Beer for Breakfast

At a table for one

Early morning sun

Shining through a broken blind sure ain't no fun

The coffee pot's busted

The cabinets are empty

And the bills are piled up

Like cards stacked against me

And I'm on my way

To missing the days

When I only had one or two

But now beer for breakfast

And whiskey by noon

'Cause I can't get over you

I used to be tough

And that used to be enough

But there ain't no safety net when you're falling in love

When hearts are on the line

Ain't nothing free

And the way that you left

It did a number on me

I've tried moving on

Shaking it off

But what gets me through yesterday's news

Is the beer for breakfast

And whiskey by noon

'Cause I still can't get over you

Well, I've always heard

No matter how bad you hurt

You never mix booze with the blues

'Cause beer for breakfast

And whiskey by noon

All I've got to get over you

That's all I've got to get over you
