The Ziggens - Tie One On lyrics

Perhaps I misunderstood Exactly what you meant When you said exactly what you meant But I knew at one time You'd fight me, your man From wrecking the shaky hand you'd been dealt See I've been accused Of being fall down drunk And pickled consistently But I never laid a hand on you And when I'd get home At least you'd been crying for me But you said Tie one on Tonight for me Oh tie one on tonight Those words she said I'll never forget The night she stopped loving me I looked down At my sliced up hands From twisting on those non twist caps And I looked back At my half empty beer As 5 or 10 seconds elapsed Guess none of my friends They wouldn't look at me Their eyes were set down on the floor And I could feel The heat in my face As I stood and I shouted one more But she said Tie one on Tonight for me Tie one on tonight Those words she said I'll never forget The night I stopped loving me
