There's a tear in the mud on the banks of the river And the sound of a lover's goodbye And a pain in my heart 'cause I could not forgive her That's as deep as the river is wide I'm lost and I'm lonesome when I look in the mirror I don't like the man that I see And the more that I look the more it gets clearer Pride made a fool out of me So I drink all night But the hurtin' won't stop And every shot I take just turns into teardrops And I lay down to sleep And I pray I don't open my eyes To a whiskey sunrise                     The cold wind blows and the leaves start to scatter And the rain will be comin' on soon And everything's wrong and nothing don't matter And a black cloud is crossin' the moon So I drink all night But the hurtin' won't stop And every shot I take just turns into teardrops And I lay down to sleep And I pray I don't open my eyes To a whiskey sunrise
