She was the girl of my dreams when she was sober,
She was my worst nightmare when she got drunk,
She was the girl of my dreams and now it’s over,
Cuz she done went and drank away our love.
There’s no better feeling... in this mean old grief-stricken world,
Than finding your true home in the heart of a precious girl,
But there’s no worse feeling in this messy old life,
Than losing the only one you ever felt could’ve been your wife.
She was the girl of my dreams when she was sober,
She was my worst nightmare when she got drunk,
She was the girl of my dreams and now it’s over,
Cuz she done went and drank away our love.
Now there’s nothing more painful... than watching the one you love,
Take another drink and start to slowly disappear,
It just leaves you feeling so goddamn powerless,
When the only one you’re trying to reach is the only one that ain’t here,
She was the girl of my dreams when she was sober,
She was my worst nightmare when she got drunk,
She was the girl of my dreams and now it’s over,
Cuz she done went and drank away our love.
