0:16Brady was a baseball star
0:17'Til he struck out and took his car and drove away
0:25Sissy lost her little boy
0:28Hitch-hiked up to Illinois so they say
0:35Then it rained so hard that Mary tried
0:38To take her life with suicide
0:41And disappeared just like the thunder
0:46You ask around and no one knows
0:48Where they went or what they do
0:51But you wonder I know you wonder
0:55Where do they go
0:57They come here
1:01To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
1:06They're in need of a mind bender
1:10I'm a bartender
1:13At the end of the day
1:15I'm all they've got
1:20Hope on the rocks
1:27Charlie's wife filed for divorce
1:29And Charlie fought a court of orders and now he's riding the fence
1:37Upside down and couldn't pay
1:39They hauled Sue's mobile home away
1:42And we ain't seen her since
1:47Larry's long time fiance
1:49Got kicked out of the P T A
1:52And moved her kids back east with someone else
1:57All the ones you used to know
1:59Don't drop in or say hello
2:02But you ask yourself
2:04I know you ask yourself
2:07Where do they go
2:09They come here
2:13To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
2:17They're in need of a mind bender
2:22I'm a bartender
2:24At the end of the day
2:27I'm all they've got
2:32Hope on the rocks
2:53Where do they go
2:54They come here
2:58To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
3:03They're in need of a mind bender
3:08I'm a bartender
3:10At the end of the day
3:13I'm all they've got
3:18Hope on the rocks
