The More You Cry
Well I sit here on this bar stool all day long
I've been here ever since my love went wrong
Lately friends have taken note that I never leave my post
I suppose they wonder just what's going on
Well the more you cry
The less you'll be
You can't deny physiology
I can just keep on drinking them beers
Because they all turn into tears
But the more you cry
The less you'll be
I'm just not the same man I was bеfore
You'll never see mе hit the men's room door
It's not the signs of my bladder
It's just going to make me madder
And nothing seems to matter anymore
The more you cry
The less you'll be
My shorts are dry
As dry as they can be and until this evening ends
I won't need to bend
Because the more you cry
The less you'll be
It's just a human tragedy
Because the tears' the irony
I can't believe that she's still poed at me
And have you listened to country music lately
It's just rock and rap and cowboy hats to me
And with that being how it is
I think I'll take up my last wish
Because it's just one more reason that I've got to grieve
And the more you cry
The less you'll be
They're making mitts and living in my misery
They're counting every beer
As I make them disappear
But the more you cry
The less you'll be
Yes the more you cry
The less you'll be
