I wake up in the morning in a state of fright
On the wrong side of the bed all night
From round her pillow to the nightstand
And straighten Miss Emily's
Go to the office, the work's piled up
Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
I cry on my best friend's shoulder
Feel so lonely when I close the door
Look out my window and what do I see?
Nothin' but pain lookin' back at me
All that my future means to me
Is tossin' yesterday's love
And straightin' me a similes
I leave my of fice and I go downtown
To a little bar we all hang around
Reach in my pocket for my billfold
I stagger in my house and
Scatter my clothes all over the floor
I drink a beer and I eat a bite,
just before I turn out the lights
I straighten Miss Emily's
Look out my window and what do I see?
Nothing but pain looking back at me
All that my future means to me
Is tossin' yesterday's love
And straightin' Miss Emily's
