[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning is a state of fright
On the wrong side of the bed all night
Clinging to the broken heart Inside my head
I open my eyes and I move my hand
From round her pillow to the nightstand
And straighten Miss Emily s picture by my bed
[Verse 2]
Go to the office; the work s piled up
Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
Cry on my best friend s shoulder down the hall
Feel so lonely, when I close the door
Bite my nails and I walk the floor
And straighten Miss Emily s picture on my wall
[Chorus]
Look out my window and what do I see
Nothing but pain looking back at me
All that my future means to me
Is tossing yesterday s love out into the wind
And straighten Miss Emily s picture now and then
[Verse 3]
I leave my office and I go downtown
To a little bar we all hang around
Laugh drink beer -shoot pool and have a ball
When the laughter stops and the hurt takes hold
Reach in my pocket for my billfold
And show Miss Emily s picture to em all
[Verse 4]
I stagger in the house and I slam the door
Scatter my clothes all over the floor
Wishing I could do the same thing in my head
Drink a beer and I eat a bite
And just before I turn out the light
I straighten Miss Emily s picture by my bed
[Chorus]
Look out my window and what do I see
Nothing but pain looking back at me
All that my future means to me
Is tossing yesterday s love out into the wind
And straighten Miss Emily s picture now and then
