Empty As A Drum

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well two old red-nosed whiskey drunks were talkin' politics It was time to hit the bricks, it was time for me to go And I was right there on the verge of pullin' out my hair Actin as though I could not care less and hopin' she would show When my bags were packed and ready, I was feelin' like a wreck Some clothes and personal effects, I left everything I own And the last I laid eyes on her, we were in a hotel hall Holdin' hands like paper dolls, aw but here I sit alone [Chorus] Well I'm gonna give it one more minute, give me one more round of rum Well I'm as empty as a drum, I'm as empty as a drum Could you spare a cigarette, I hate to be a bum But here's to hopin' she'll still come, I'm too old to be this dumb Well I'm too old to be this dumb [Verse 2] Well I tell you that bartender, she's a sight to see Aw you'd be envious of me, least you would if she was here And the kid there in the corner has been spoilin' for a fight And it feels like that kind of night, aw but instead pour me a beer [Chorus] And I'm gonna give it one more minute, give me one more round of rum Well I'm as empty as a drum, I'm as empty as a drum Could you spare a cigarette, I hate to be a bum But here's to hopin' she'll still come, I'm too old to be this dumb Well I'm too old to be this dumb [Verse 3] When you darkened up the doorway, I stood up from the bar Well I said hey now here you are, damn it darlin', how are you? And you kissed me Said I can't say that I'm great oh Lord I hate it that I'm late Oh what a mess we got into
