Intro
Verse 1
You ask me if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I've heard
It seems since I've seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the word
If happiness is empty rooms 'n drinkin' in the afternoon
Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam
But if it's got a thing to do with smilin' or forgettin' you
Well, I don't guess that I could say I am
Chorus
N.C. G
Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feelin'
Since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
Interlude
Verse 2
You wonder if I'm better off with freedom
Now to do the things I choose
Well, all my time's my own and I got nothin' left
But sleepin' time to lose
There's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long
'n give a tinker's damn if I don't call
I'm livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do
And nothin' means a thing to me at all
Chorus
N.C. G
Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He's been a-puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
That's the way that I've been feelin'
Since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
