Cryin' in My Beer
(c) Jim Molinelli
[Verse 1]
The bar is crowded, but I'm feelin’ dead,
Every laugh, every cheer, they just hurt my head.
The bartender knows my story too well,
He pours me another while I’m under this spell.
You left me alone, and now I sit here,
Feelin’ sad for myself, and cry'n in my beer.
​
[Chorus]
Cryin' in my beer, is all I can do,
Raise a glass to this heart, that still longs for you.
Every drop a memory, every sip a tear,
Since you walked out, I'm cryin' in my beer.
[Verse 2]
Your laugh would echo off these rustic walls,
Now there’s only heartache when the nighttime falls.
The regulars know my story too well,
They buy me yet another since I’m under your spell.
Every clinking glass's another heartbroke’ refrain,
I can’t shake the memories, they’re drivin’ me insane.
​
[Chorus]
Cryin' in my beer, it's what I do best,
Raise another glass to this heart in distress.
Every drop's a memory, every sip's a tear,
Since you walked out, I'm just cryin' in my beer.
[Verse 3]
I try and wipe away the pain, but it lingers on,
Can't shake this heartache, this bittersweet song.
But I raise my glass high, knowin’ you were true,
Even in my sorrow, I will cherish you.
So there’s a toast to the love that we knew,
But I’m cryin' in my beer, 'cause I'm still missin' you.
​
[Chorus]
Cryin' in my beer, oh, it's all I’ve got,
Raise a glass to my heart, tied up in a knot.
Every drop's a memory, every sip's a tear,
Since you walked out, I'm cryin' in my beer.
Every drop's a memory, every sip's a tear,
Since you walked out, I'm cryin' in my beer.
