She took the dog, I took the bottle off the shelf

I tried to reason, but she told me, "Go to Hell"

I can't believe I ever tried that shit, oh well

Huh, should've tried to save myself

She headed east, she packed it up, can't win 'em all

I'm sick and tired of her telling me I dropped the ball

I never need you and all those it's your fault's

Aw, naw

She's running on heartbreak, I'm running on empty

She's dead set on leaving while I'm drowning in the whiskey

It hits me the second I think I can breathe

The thought of you don't ever leave

She's under them street lights, I'm buzzing off the neon

On the edge of this barstool, ain't no shoulder to lean on

So I'm going round after round after round

Bartender, help me 'cause I'm running on empty

I'll shut it down

I'll be the last one after last call in this town

Pour ninety proof to numb the truth

That you and me were meant to burn to the ground

Thank God I saved myself

Keep heading east, keep packing up, can't win 'em all

'Cause I'm sick and tired of her telling me that I dropped the ball

You can leave me, you can say it's all my fault

Aw, naw

She's running on heartbreak, I'm running on empty

She's dead set on leaving while I'm drowning in the whiskey

It hits me the second I think I can breathe

The thought of you don't ever leave

She's under them street lights, I'm buzzing off the neon

On the edge of this barstool, ain't no shoulder to lean on

So I'm going round after round after round

Bartender, help me 'cause I'm running on

Long nights, cold ice, blacking out your memory

With my friends, your friends, I ain't got no enemies

Yeah, I been sitting, sipping on liquid sympathy

Maybe that's all I really need

Guess some things just ain't meant to be 'cause

She's running on heartbreak, I'm running on empty

She's dead set on leaving while I'm drowning in the whiskey

It hits me the second I think I can breathe

The thought of you don't ever leave

She's under them street lights, I'm buzzing off the neon

On the edge of this barstool, ain't no shoulder to lean on

So I'm going round after round after round

Bartender, help me 'cause I'm running on empty
