Beer And Bones

(sanger d. shafer/lonnie williams)

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
