I try not to drink. Cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy Desperate ain't lonely You know I've been had. Pockets are empty In the daytime, I'm lonesome In the nighttime, I'm sad. The letter I wrote Took words from my throat I was saving It lay on a roadside Guess the mailman was drunk The message was urgent Now it lays in a state where you don't live no more So I try not to drink Cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy Cause desperate ain't lonely You know I've been had Pockets are empty In the daytime, I'm lonesome In the nighttime, I'm sad
