YOU'RE STILL ON MY MIND (a.k.a. AN EMPTY BOTTLE, A BROKEN HEART)
(Luke McDaniel)

The jukebox is playin' a honky-tonk song.
One more, I keep sayin', and then I'll go home.
What good will it do me? I know what I'll find:
An empty bottle, a broken heart, and you're still on my mind.

The people are dancin' and havin' their fun
While I sit here thinkin' about what you have done.
To try and forget you, I turn to the wine:
An empty bottle, a broken heart, and you're still on my mind.

Alone and forsaken, so blue I could cry,
While I sit here drinkin' until the bottle runs dry;
What good will it do me? I know what I'll find:
An empty bottle, a broken heart, and you're still on my mind.
An empty bottle, a broken heart, and you're still on my mind.

[Recorded by The Byrds, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, Red Volkaert, and several others.]
