Back of the bar, out of the line
Lose track of time and that's all right
you're good for every day
silence sometimes screams
Coming up, coming up empty,
wishing for an inside straight
Coming up, coming up empty,
And you're going home to her
But I'm still coming off empty
You say it's best this little bit ain't dose
Any more than that is too damn close
Hear what you say but be confused
Silence sometimes screams
Comin' up, comin' up empty
Fishin' for an inside strength
Coming up, coming up empty
And you're going on to her
But I'm still coming up empty
caught my hand, looking in my eyes
This little girl just got wise
Can't get it off for one last bite
I won't be that girl one more night
Silence sometimes screams
It's coming up, coming up empty
Wishing for an inside straight
Coming up, coming up empty
And you're going home to her
Gonna tell sweet lies to her
But I'm still coming up empty
Yeah, I'm coming up empty
