Beer and Bones

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey, since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey, that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"

I got to work this morning
Early, this afternoon
Yeah, my boss man nudged me
Said, "Son, I need to talk to you

You used to make me money
But lately I been taking a loss"
Well, he smelled my breath, gave me what was left
Of the day off

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey, that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"

Well, I wish I could go home
And rest my weary head
But I know I'll just stay here
And have another beer instead

That little waitress asked me
"Honey, could you use some help?"
I said "I thank you miss, I'll have to get through this
By my dang self"

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey, since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey, that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"
I heard someone say, "Hey, that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"
