There's a tear in my beer I'm crying for you dear You are on My lonely mind [Verse 1] Into these last nine beers I've cried a Million tears You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking Until I'm petrified And then maybe these tears Will leave my eyes There's a tear in my beer I'm crying' for you dear You were on my Lonely mind [Verse 2] Last night I walked the floor And the night Before You were on my lonely mind It seems my life is through And I'm so doggone blue You were on my Lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking ' Till I can't move a toe And then maybe my heart Won't hurt me so There's a tear in my beer I'm crying for you dear You were On my lonely mind [Verse 3] Lord, I've tried and I've tried But my tears, I can't hide You are on my lonely mind The blues that I've found Have Really got me down You are on my Lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking ' Till I can't even think In the last week I ain't Slept a wink [Chorus] There's a tear in my beer ' Cause I'm crying for you dear You were on my lonely mind
