Why don't you tell me when it's comin' on
Why don't you tell me when I'm going wrong
Why don't you tell me when I lost my touch
Why don't you tell me when I drink too much

Oh, how I fell, down a well
The lights went out
Yeah, the lights went out
I couldn't get my grip again
The means they justified the end
It's a cryin' shame

Nobody told me what it's all about
Nobody told me I could bottom out
Nobody told me I was stumbling
Nobody told me about anything

Wow, then I fell, all to hell
The lights went out
You always called yourself a friend
You weren't there to lift me then
It's a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame

I don't remember when I tasted blood
I don't remember when I hit the mud
I can't remember that blackout day
All I remember is that you walked away

Oh, then I fell, was like hell
The lights went out
I got no money I can spend
I got some hurts that just won't mend
It's a cryin' shame
Cryin' shame

Why do I wait when you won't come back
I'm on the wrong side of the zodiac
I wish you would love me like my honey do
I'm gonna drink without a thought of you

Wow, then I fell, all to hell
The lights went out
I'm waiting for the day's return
I'm livin' for that liquor burn
It's a cryin' shame
Lights went out
