Michael Peterson Miscellaneous When The Bartender Cries (Michael Peterson/Hunter Davis) This bar has been my home away from her Used to be, she was missing me Now she's moving in with her best friend And I'm the only one who wants what used to be I'm here because today I lost it all I didn't want to drink at home alone I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling Like a row of dominoes I thought the man behind the bar Had heard it all before My story must have caught him by surprise 'Cause when he handed me my double There were tears in his eyes You know you're in trouble When the bartender cries He said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again" I said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try" So if she ever calls for me Oh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here" And it won't be a lie I asked the man behind the bar What he'd been crying for He said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine Now I've stopped drinking doubles But I pour them all of the time Son, you know you're in trouble When the bartender cries" As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew Every single word he said was true Well, I told the man behind the bar I thought I'd seen it all before Till I saw the sadness in his eyes That's when I put down my double And said my last goodbyes 'Cause you know you're in trouble When the bartender cries Oh, you know you're in trouble When the bartender cries (c) 1997 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp.
