I'm gonna ride on It's another lonely evening And another lonely town But I ain't too young to worry And I ain't too old to cry When a woman gets me down Got another empty bottle And another empty bed

Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story You'll accept just half of all these consequences Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't

That's just what you do When you're at the bottom It sure could drain a man About as empty as these beer cans Yeah, this time it's it, I'm callin' it quits I'm not turnin' her on anymore She packed up the same ol' stuff And slammed the same ol' door And

When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her Boys workin' on empty Is that the kind'a way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat

In too deep She's spilling over me She drains me When I'm empty She fills herself She takes it all Have it all And when I've had enough You're my size I need to try you on

Sail away tomorrow Sailin' far away To find it steal or borrow But I'll be there someday, yeah Time will show When, I don't know If you're driftin' on an empty ocean With no wind to fill your sail The future, your horizon

Spend it all on you Dancing on empty wallets Living our lives Until we die Get too high when I'm high So we see eye-to-eye, whoa, oh And away and away we go Sugar caught a break The fluid ain't to blame

King of dreams I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes A beggar of love, second hand hero The stages are empty when I steal the scenes It doesn't matter if I'm

And that's the difference between the whiskey and you There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring And it's empty, so right now I don't feel a thing I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor And I'll be over it by noon Come tomorrow, I can walk in any

Then kiss me once again It's been a long, long time You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you Kiss me once...and kiss me twice Haven't felt like this, my dear Since i can't remember when Or just how empty they all seemed without you So
