[Chorus]
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"

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]

[Outro]
I heard someone say, hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
