I just walked in and you were gone To your mama's I suppose It looks like you won't be back, so I thought you'd ought to know I found that note you left today It only took you half a page I'm gonna grab my old guitar, take a pencil from the jar, fill in the empty space I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you Like Kristofferson would do In each line you're gonna hear "it's my fault" and "I miss you" I know it won't be in time, it may not even rhyme But all it has to be is true I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you Like Kristofferson would do I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you Like Kristofferson would do I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety-proof and sing this song for you Like Kristofferson would do
