Tie One On Lyrics & Chords By The Ziggens

Perhaps I misunderstood
Exactly what you meant
When you said exactly what you meant
But I knew at one time
You'd fight me, your man
From wrecking the shaky hand you'd been dealt
See I've been accused
Of being fall down drunk
And pickled consistently
But I never laid a hand on you
And when I'd get home
At least you'd been crying for me.
But you said
Tie one on
Tonight for me
Oh tie one on tonight
Those words she said
I'll never forget
The night she stopped loving me
I looked down
At my sliced up hands
From twisting on those non twist caps
And I looked back
At my half empty beer
As 5 or 10 seconds elapsed.
Guess none of my friends
They wouldn't look at me
Their eyes were set down on the floor
And I could feel
The heat in my face
As I stood and I shouted one more.
But she said
Tie one on
Tonight for me
Tie one on tonight,
Those words she said
I'll never forget
The night I stopped loving me.
