Lyrics

There's a tear in my beer

Expressing sorrow and heartbreak, symbolized by a tear in the narrator's beer.

I'm crying for you dear

The narrator is shedding tears for a loved one, emphasizing the emotional pain.

You are on my lonely mind

The presence of the loved one occupies the narrator's thoughts and intensifies loneliness.


Into these last nine beers

Over the course of the last nine beers consumed, the narrator has experienced immense sadness.

I've cried a million tears

The cumulative effect of crying is emphasized by the significant number of tears shed.

You are on my lonely mind

The loved one remains in the narrator's thoughts, contributing to the ongoing loneliness.

I'm gonna keep drinking

Committing to continuous drinking as a coping mechanism to numb the pain.

Until I'm petrified

The narrator plans to drink until reaching a state of numbness or intoxication.

And then maybe these tears

Hoping that excessive drinking will eventually stop the flow of tears.

Will leave my eyes

The desire for tears to cease as a result of alcohol-induced numbness.


There's a tear in my beer

Repetition of the tear in the beer symbolizing ongoing emotional pain and distress.

I'm crying' for you dear

Continued expression of sorrow for the absent loved one.

You were on my lonely mind

The loneliness persists, with the loved one remaining a constant presence in the narrator's mind.


Last night I walked the floor

Recollection of sleepless nights spent in emotional turmoil.

And the night before

Highlighting the repetitive nature of the narrator's distress in consecutive nights.

You were on my lonely mind

The loved one's impact on the narrator's emotions remains consistent.

It seems my life is through

A sense of hopelessness and despair about the state of the narrator's life.

And I'm so doggone blue

Intense feelings of sadness and being emotionally overwhelmed.

You were on my lonely mind

The loved one continues to influence the narrator's emotional state.

I'm gonna keep drinking

Commitment to drinking until physical movement is impaired.

'Til I can't move a toe

Exaggeration of the drinking commitment to cope with emotional pain.

And then maybe my heart

Hope that numbing the body will alleviate emotional suffering.

Won't hurt me so

Seeking relief from heartache by numbing the emotional pain.


There's a tear in my beer

Reiteration of the symbolic tear in the beer and continued expression of sorrow.

I'm crying for you dear

Reaffirming the act of crying as a response to the absence of the loved one.

You were on my lonely mind

The impact of the loved one on the narrator's thoughts remains profound.


Lord, I've tried and I've tried

Acknowledging the futility of trying to hide the emotional pain through tears.

These tears, I cannot hide

Highlighting the persistent influence of the loved one on the narrator's mind.

You are on my lonely mind

The loneliness is emphasized as the narrator struggles to conceal their tears.

The blues that I've found

The emotional burden has led to a deep sense of despair and sadness.

Have really got me down

The narrator is significantly affected by the blues, reflecting intense emotional pain.

You are on my lonely mind

The ongoing impact of the loved one on the narrator's emotional well-being.

I'm gonna keep drinking

Commitment to drinking persistently to cope with overwhelming emotions.

'Til I can't even think

Drinking to the point of impaired cognitive function as a means of escape.

In the last week

Emphasizing the extreme difficulty the narrator faces in finding restorative sleep.

I ain't slept a wink

Insomnia as a result of the emotional distress experienced in the past week.
