"Since she's been gone"

He don't drink anymore than he needs to.
He just drowns her memories in the barrooms every night.
He don't lie anymore than he has to,
Just when he says that everything's alright.

She's gone away and he's gone back to drinkin'
Steadily sinkin' to the bottom of the whiskey well.

She's gone away and he's just gone to pieces.
Since she's been gone, he's gone straight to hell.

He don't sleep anymore beside her.
He sleeps alone whereever he may fall.
He don't care if he ever finds another.
These days he don't seem to care about much at all.

repeat chorus.
