I had many a night o' drinking away the sorrows of lost love.

Lyrics

2 a.m Break Down

Two a.m , one twelve-pack gone , all the lights are out but the television?s on, and I say I, I got you on my mind , and I love ya so much, you barely know I?m alive

Saw you at the diner with your two girlfriends, I tried to go up to you but your talkin? never ends, and I say I, just walk off to the side, and I love ya so much , you barely know I?m alive

Finally your friends get up to play some tunes, I tried to go up to you but to you but Johnny jumped in your booth, and I say I, say what?s a boy to do? So step over to your booth and I looked right at you, and I said ?excuse me, but could I have one word?? and Johnny got in my face and he said ?oh no, no you jerk!? Well I say I , say I, I , I Well I just closed my eyes and let my best fist fly!

Well, the next thing I know , Johnny?s on the floor and all you girls are angry cause? I messed his pompadour! I love ya so much, but now ya hate my guts, and I?m watchin? television and drinkin? way too much.
And I say I,I I, I, I, I ,I ?I say I, I ,I ,I oh, oh, oh ,oh?.
