As I count the coins laid on the bar I think of home then of a bottle new, I can't go home and I can't drive the car, the alcohol even comes before you. People told me that you were leaving as I live at the bottom of this jar. The drink has gone but has me believing that you will stay just right where you are. But your bags were packed and you have left, the old place feels like a ghost walked on through. I sit here nursing a head that's bereft trying to forget the thoughts of you.

Thoughts of You
As I count the coins laid on the bar I think of home then of a bottle new, I can't go home and I can't drive the car, the alcohol even comes before you. People told me that you were leaving as I live at the bottom of this jar. The drink has gone but has me believing that you will stay just right where you are. But your bags were packed and you have left, the old place feels like a ghost walked on through. I sit here nursing a head that's bereft trying to forget the thoughts of you.
Another song! And No, its not from experience. I rarely touch alcohol.
