Down And Out

George Strait · Very Best Of Strait, Vol. 1:1981-87 [Universal In] [2004]

(Dean Dillon - Frank Dycus)



Well, I'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearing me apart

If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart

And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt

That since my woman left I'm down and out.



Chorus:

Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind

Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind

(Well) that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about

Since my woman left I'm down and out.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'm down to my last dollar but I don't really care

My friends have all got whiskey and they don't mind if I share

They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out

Since my woman left I'm down and out.



Chorus:

Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind

Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind

(Well) that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about

Since my woman left I'm down and out.



Since my woman left, since my woman left.

Since my woman left I'm down and out...
