Story Behind The Song
I spent a great deal of time with a woman who made me constantly wonder if she was going to be gone when I woke up or if she was really committed to our relationship. In the end she DID leave me for another guy and yes, I drank a LOT over the breakup!

LYRICS
I woke this morning with a Shotglass In My Hand
I have never been a drinking man
That woman she will never understand
Why I woke this morning and I didn't care at all
I had to do something waiting for your call
So I Opened up a bottle, sat down and drank it all
She didn't come home
Didn't even bother to call
I was staring out the back door
Banging my head into the wall
That's why I woke this morning with a Shotglass In My Hand
My woman traded me in on another man
Why I woke this morning with a Shotglass In My Hand
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh -
When I looked at my watch it was half past the hour of 8
I said hey woman you're several hours late
When you're telling me about it
You better have your story straight
That's why I woke tup with a Shotglass In My Hand
My woman traded me in on another man
Why I woke this morning with a Shotglass In My Hand
Said No - why'd you do me that way
Shotglass in My Hand - repeats
