NOTHIN’ BUT THE WORM Verse 1 It’s closin’ time in some local joint in Tucson Been sittin’ here since half past six tonight Tryin’ to drown the mem’ries in this bottle But they ain’t goin’ down without a fight Verse 2 I remember the taste of her sweet kisses And the way she felt in my hands Now I’m here nursin’ this heartache While she’s somewhere in the arms of another man Chorus Ain’t that the way the story goes? Sometimes you walk away a winner – sometimes you fold one day you’re flyin’ high – then you crash and you burn Then you’re starin’ down at empty – left with nothin’ but the worm Verse 3 Dumped a handful of quarters in the jukebox Been listening to the same song all night long But the funny thing is that I’m still here Waitin’ on a girl who’s so long gone Chorus Lead Verse 4 It’s hard to get up from the table Maybe I’m just scared to go back home The place just seems so cold and empty And the ghosts come out when you’re lying there alone Chorus © Words and Music by John McTague
