(Verse 1)
I sat down to drink a beer
Felt one tear fall from my eye
My woman took off this mornin’
Said this time goodbye means goodbye
She’s sick of all my antics
And all the things I’ve done before
She said last time that next time
She’d be walkin’ out that door
(Pre-chorus)
I watched her taillights disappear
As they faded down the road
And I figured I’d be miserable
Carryin’ that heavy load
So I cracked another cold one
And stared out into the rain
Wonderin’ how I’d make it through
This kind of hurt and pain
(Chorus)
That tear fell down into my beer
And vanished in the foam
I thought I was gonna miss her
Till I remembered she was gone
Now the TV’s on the ballgame
And nobody’s yellin’ in my ear
Turns out that little teardrop
Was a happy beer-fed tear
(Verse 2)
The house got kinda quiet
For the first time in a while
No list of things I should be doin’
No complaints and no denial
The remote was where I left it
The thermostat stayed low
And somehow all this freedom
Was startin' to steal the show
(Pre-chorus)
I sat there thinkin’ 'bout her
And all the love we'd shared
Tryin’ my best to be heartbroken
Like I oughta be, I swear
But every time I thought about it
I realized I didn't care
And every sip kept tellin’ me
Why that tear was there
(Chorus)
That tear fell down into my beer
And vanished in the foam
I thought I was gonna miss her
Till I remembered she was gone
Now the TV’s on the ballgame
And nobody’s yellin’ in my ear
Turns out that little teardrop
Was a happy beer-fed tear
(Bridge)
I cried when she was leavin’
At least that’s what I thought
Then I found the truck keys where I left ‘em
And remembered what I got
No lectures from the kitchen
No fightin’ over every little thing
Funny how a broken heart
Can make a grown man wanna sing
(Final Chorus)
That tear fell down into my beer
And vanished in the foam
I thought I was gonna miss her
Till I remembered she was gone
Now the TV’s on the ballgame
And nobody’s yellin’ in my ear
Turns out that little teardrop
Was a happy beer-fed tear
(Outro)
Yeah, that tear fell down into my beer
And vanished in the foam
And the best thing that woman ever did
Was leave me here alone
