Soon I Was Sleeping

I spent half the night thinking about her

Dressed up in that old wedding gown

So I took a few sips from the bottle

Just to settle my memory down

Then I noticed that phone on the nightstand

Out the corner of my teary eye

And I knew that I could be a better man, Lord

If she'd just say she loved me tonight

So I called her up tipsy

She said she doesn't miss me

And I was thinking I'd rather be dead

But I put that bottle of whiskey

Right where she used to kiss me

And soon I was sleeping instead

I remember the way that you held me

When you'd say it was love at first sight

You'd come home brimming with roses

And you'd take me out dancing all night

But when you lost your heart to that bottle

I lost the man you used to be

And now it's always the same

When you're feeling ashamed

You come crying to me

So you call me up tipsy

Saying girl, don't you miss me

Cause you're thinking you'd rather be dead

Just put that bottle of whiskey

Right where you used to kiss me

And soon you'll be sleeping instead

So I called her up tipsy

She said she doesn't miss me

And I was thinking I'd rather be dead

Just put that bottle of whiskey

Right where you used to kiss me

And soon you'll be sleeping instead

I put that bottle of whiskey

Right where she used to kiss me

And soon I was sleeping instead
