Lost Songtext
von David Allan Coe

by david allan coe
she′s just a tear i used to cry
long before we said good bye
now she's just a lady that i used to know
when the bottle took her place
she was a mirror i had to face
and a dream i dared to dream some time ago


i lost her eyes to a whole bunch of pena coladas
after a few margaritas i took all the blame
for drinking manhattans at tree in the morning i lost her
between the vodka and gin and the beer and champagne

i lost her lips late one night on a strawberry daiquiri
jack daniels, whiskey and rum couldn′t help me that time
i lost her arms and her hands to a glass of tequila
i lost her heart and her soul to a bottle of wine

i lost a bet that our love would last forever
sloe gin and tonic was making my heart hard to find
with two bloody mary's i ran out of vodka this morning
losing my chances of drinking her off of my mind
