lyrics

I hear her crying upstairs in our room

While I'm down here drinking since a quarter to noon

The ice in my glass cracks like a rifle salute

It's singin' a song out of tune

I might have gone up and knocked on her door

But I just don't know what I'd be doin' it for

Better to lie here laid out on the floor

Singin' my song out of tune

Singin' a song out of tune

Flat on my back staring up at the moon
Who's leavin’ me now
She'll be leavin' me soon
I'm singin' a song out of tune

In my lap there's a bottle, a bottle of Beam

I hoped and I prayed that I'd wash myself clean

But nothing's as simple as what it might seem
When you're singin' a song out of tune

Singin' a song out of tune

Flat on my back staring up at the moon
Who’s leavin’ me now
She'll be leavin' me soon
I'm singin' a song out of tune

And I don’t want to leave but I don’t want to stay

There's troubles that drinkin' won't make go away

But then drinkin' to trouble is what I do best

She said as she kissed my poor heart through my chest

Singin' a song out of tune

Flat on my back staring up at the moon
Who’s leavin’ me now
She'll be leavin' me soon
I'm singin' a song out of tune
