“ME, THE DOG AND OLD JIM BEAM” (2nd edition)

VERSE 1

When you left me cold without saying goodbye...

I bet you thought I’d fall apart...

I’d sit at home being all alone...

crying out my lonesome broken heart...

But I’m too tough and I’ve got some pride...

That’s something bout me you didn’t know...

And my two best friends are right  by my side... 

And they’re  telling me just let you go...

CHORUS

And since you left we’re a hell of a team...

Chilling on the porch is our brand new scene...

Doin for ourselves like you’ve never seen...

Now it’s Me the dog and old Jim Beam...

Me, the mutty dog and old Jim Beam...

VERSE 2

Well I know old blue is a man’s best friend...

He never liked you anyway...

And I’m sure he’ll stay with me right to the end...

He’s so glad you finally went away...

And My friend from Kentucky is a faithful pal too...

A half of  bottle’s by my side...

So with buddies like them, I  don’t think about you...

Come on blue your bones outside... 

CHORUS

BRIDGE

You might think I miss you...

That ain’t the case...

I just like to lie awake all night long...

Tossing and a turning...

Staring into space...

That’s what I like to do since you’ve  been gone...

VERSE 3

Well I’d get a new girl if I had the time...

Like Becky Sue from down the street...

But I’ve got much more important things on my mind...

Even though she looks so gosh darn sweet...

Like cooking and cleaning and walking the floor...

Somethings have to just be done...

But boy are we glad you waltzed out the door...

Our fun has somehow now begun...

CHORUS
