Beer and Bones by John Michael Montgomery

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey, since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"

I got to work this morning
Early this afternoon
Yeah, my boss man nudged me
Said, "Son I need to talk to you"

You used to make me money
But lately I been taking a loss
Well, he smelled my breath
Gave me what was left of the day off

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey, since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"

Well, I wish I could go home
And rest my weary head
But I know I'll just stay here
Have another beer instead

That little waitress asked me
Honey, could you use some help
I said, "I thank you miss
I'll have to get through this by my dang self"

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey, since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite since the night
That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say, "Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"

I heard someone say, "Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones"
