Six Beers

from True Compass by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

It’s ten after one, the jukebox still playing
The crowd’s thinning out, no one is staying
But I’ll be here, I’ll be here until closing

There’s nowhere to go, no one to go home to
The house is so empty, cold rooms to roam through
So I’ll be here, I’ll be here until closing

If six beers won’t do it,
Twelve won’t either
The nights just get longer and
The loneliness wider
But I just didn’t have the nerve
Now that it’s over
Now that you’re gone
I just don’t know how I’ll move on

Well, the bartender’s mad, says I should get on
Get off of my butt, and try to be strong
But he don’t know, he don’t know what it feels like

We all make mistakes, but this one was tragic
A chance to find happiness, a chance to find magic
Now I don’t know, I don’t know what it feels like

Chorus:

Ooh, these lonesome days
Building a life through a desperate haze
What’s a woman to do

But children and comfort and work made me stay
But mostly I couldn’t get out of my way
And you were, you were all that I thought of

I just couldn’t manage to let myself go
Stuck in a life where I’d rarely show
And you were, you were all that I thought of

Chorus:
