lyrics

Hey barkeep, I'm lonesome
and today's a special occasion
See it's one year to the day, since my baby left me
She had grace, she had timing
Oh such perfect timing
Why I'm sitting here all alone
Drinking bourbon on my birthday

Well now I'm twenty-nine
I guess I'm old enough to nurse a broken heart
for as long as I want
All my friends are getting married, having babies, buying houses
Why I'm sitting here all alone
Drinking bourbon on my birthday

I guess there's something sweet bout these
Kentucky straight blues
Like vanilla on the tongue
But there's a kick in the throat
Why I got up this morning
Put on a shirt and tie so I
could sit here on this stool
Drinking bourbon on my birthday
