[00:04.94]You ask me if I'm happy now that's good as any joke I've heard
[00:14.31]It seems that since I've seen you last I done forgot the meanin' of the word
[00:23.77]If happiness is empty rooms and drinkin' in the afternoon
[00:28.31]Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam
[00:33.02]But if it's got a thing to do with smilin' of forgettin' you
[00:37.81]Well I don't guess that I could say I am
[00:42.15]Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
[00:46.77]Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
[00:51.51]When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
[00:55.16]He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
[01:00.83]And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
[01:05.32]Because he's never seen a single dream come true
[01:10.30]That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
[01:14.68]From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
[01:21.17]Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
[01:29.15]You wonder if I'm better off with freedom now to do the things I choose
[01:38.46]With all my times my own and I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose
[01:47.59]There's no one here to carry on If I stay out the whole night long
[01:52.61]Give a cankerous damn if I don't call
[01:56.84]I'm livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do
[02:01.53]And nothin' means a thing to me at all
[02:05.91]Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
[02:10.35]Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
[02:15.24]When the water from the weeds soaked the paper
[02:18.83]He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
[02:24.50]And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
[02:28.99]Because he's never seen a single dream come true
[02:33.87]That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
[02:38.61]From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
[02:43.55]Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
