There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last nine beers I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes
There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm crying' for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

Last night I walked the floor and the night before
You are on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through and I'm so doggone blue
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' till I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so
There's a tear in my beer 'cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

Lord, I've tried and I've tried but my tears I can't hide
You are on my lonely mind
All these blues that I've found have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' till I can't even think
Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink
There's a tear in my beer 'ause I'm crying for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
