I've been sitting here sinking and drinking and thinking about you in three quarter time
I've been smoking and joking and soaking my brain searching for the most perfect why
Though your memory has jaded and faded your picture returns to me form time to time
So I sit here thinking and drinking and sinking in three quarter time
Won't you be kind to me cause you know I can't seem to locate the right melody
The words they won't flow and the whiskey's to slow to return my mind and your memory
Jack Daniels my friend he comes now and then and watches the lights go around in my room
And the music's still playing and the room keeps on swaying and still I'm without any clue
Can you see the bottom of my whiskey bottle won't you answer my call it's me on the line
Please come visit me and answer my plea I'm stuck here in three quarter time
Your memory escapes me and leaves me half crazy wondering where you are tonight
The stars go on shining and my guitar keeps on crying will someone please shoot out the lights
Just leave me alone and go back where you're from don't worry about me I'll be just fine
I'm fighting my way and trying to stay away from this three quarter time
