[Chorus]
There's a tear in my beer
I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Verse 1]
Into these last nine beers
I've cried a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinking
Until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears
Will leave my eyes

[Chorus]
There's a tear in my beer
I'm crying' for you dear
You were on my lonely mind

[Verse 2]
Last night I walked the floor
And the night before
You were on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through
And I'm so doggone blue
You were on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinking
'Till I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart
Won't hurt me so
[Chorus]
There's a tear in my beer
I'm crying for you dear
You were on my lonely mind

[Verse 3]
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears, I can't hide
You are on my lonely mind
The blues that I've found
Have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinking
'Till I can't even think
In the last week
I ain't slept a wink

[Chorus]
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm crying for you dear
You were on my lonely mind
