Lyrics
Every night he'll kiss her picture
By a bed where only he sleeps now
He'll open a bottle, bid farewell to troubles
Looks at her, and there he goes again
When he has a little drink,
As tears hit his his face, he thinks
About the girl in his head
Who sings to him in bed
She told him she may come back
But she was tired of putting out his fires
So, all he has of her sits in a frame beside his bed
She looks at him, and there he goes again
When he has a little drink,
As tears hit his face, he thinks
About the girl in his head
Who sings to him in bed
It's time to wake up from his haze
Cause his sanctuary's ablaze
It's time to quit, he knows
When he sees his booze explode
Everything he hoped would last
Goes up in smoke in a flash
He makes it outside and cries "never again!"
As all around him burns, he thinks
Now he'll stop the little drink
The girl in his head
And singing in his bed
He's never have a little drink
La la la la la la la la la la la la oh
