Intro :
There's a t ear in the m ud on the b anks of the r iver
And the s ound of a lover's goodb ye
And a p ain in my hear t 'cause I c ould not forg ive her
That's as d eep as the r iver is wi de
I'm l ost and I'm lones ome when I l ook in the m irror
I d on't like the man that I s ee
And the m ore that I loo k the m ore it get s cle arer
P ride made a f ool out of me
So I d rink all night
But the h urtin' won't stop
And every s hot I take just turns into teardrops
And I l ay down to sleep
And I p ray I don't open my e yes
T o a whiskey sun rise
The c old wind b lows and the l eaves start t o scat ter
And the r ain will be comin' on s oon
And e verything's w rong and n othing don 't mat ter
And a b lack cloud is c rossin' the moo n
So I d rink all night
But the h urtin' won't stop
And every s hot I take just turns into teardrops
And I l ay down to sleep
And I p ray I don't open my e yes
T o a whiskey sun rise
