Verse 1:
She was my first love so young and innocent then
But I was playing a hand I knew I couldn't win
She left me with only a lipstick kiss on the bathroom mirror Ruby Red
Left me tossing and turning in this empty bed
Chorus: I did her wrong
Now she's long gone
And I'm a lost ship at sea
But the only man I can blame is me
So I'm gonna finish my last cigarette and without shedding a tear
I'm gonna drown my sorrows in morphine and beer
Verse2:
Two months later with tears in her pretty brown eyes she came to me
Scared to death I let her down and wasn't the man I needed to be
In a clinic far from home
She dealt with it all alone
Repeat Chorus
Verse3:
I got the call at a quarter after two
I finally put her through more than she could make it through
Black dresses and white roses, kind words don't make it better
I finally found enough strength to read her last letter
You did me wrong
Now I'm long gone
I was a lost ship at sea
Waiting for the man I needed you to be
So I'm gonna finish my last cigarette and never shed another tear
I'm gonna drown all my sorrows in morphine and beer
