Tearjoint

This ain't no beer joint
It's a tear joint
Just a place where lonely people
Like to come and sit and cry

This ain't no beer joint
It's a tear joint
And I feel one more fallin'
From my eye

Set 'em up, my friend
Yes, I'm back again
Would you please bring me a tall one?
'Cause my troubles are not the small ones
Thank the Lord for dim lit taverns
To cry your heart out in

This ain't no beer joint
No, it's a tear joint
Just a place where lonely people
Like to come and sit and cry

This ain't no beer joint
Oh, it's a tear joint
And I feel one more fallin'
From my eye

Put a quarter in the jukebox
Watch this old loser cry
When they play them old sad songs
Well, they bring back all the bygones
And all the rights that turned out wrong
Suddenly they come back strong

This ain't no beer joint
It's a tear joint
Just a place where lonely people
Like to come and sit and cry

No, this ain't no beer joint
It's only a tear joint
And I feel one more fallin'
From my eye
