Verse 1

  You ask me if i'm happy now

  That's good as any joke i've heard

It seems since i've seen you last

  I've done forgotten the meening of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

  Well i suppose i'm happy as a clown

  But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

  Well i don't guess that i could say i am

Chorus

  Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone

  Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds that sop the paper

  He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

  Because he's never seen a single dream come true

  That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallen

From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew

  Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

Verse 2

  You wonder if i'm better off

  With freedom now to do the things i choose

With all my times my own and

  I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If i stay out the whole night lone

  Give a thinker's damn if i don't call

  I'm livin' like i wanted you

And doin' things i wanna do

  And nothin' means a things to me at all

Chorus.
