Lyrics
A naked, empty bottle sat with him at the bar Not twenty feet from me, but plenty miles too far His troubled, distant stare told a tale I had to hear Laid my money down, barman stood another beer Grabbed the seat beside him in the cold, corner space Strained to read the story in the lines upon his face Wads of his beer’s label lay scattered in the dew His head never turned but he said “You wonder too?” chorus: The girl here on this label Looks like my Susanne Her eyes cut right thru me Sees the truth inside this man Gotta tear away her mem’ry One shred at a time Gotta rip her from this bottle and my mind He said “I do this everyday, everywhere I go Got nothin’ else to live for, nothing else to show I gave her all she needed, but this world ain’t no good She’s gone anyway; though I did the best I could chorus Some guy like you will always sit right there and wonder ‘Bout the sorrow that I carry, the burden I’m under But they can never fathom how deep and dark the cave Of knowing I’m the one who put Susanne in her grave chorus A naked, empty bottle sat with him at the bar
