Sunday Morning Empties

Canettes Blues Band

Lyrics by Steven Goldfarb

(12-bar boogie)

[12 bar piano intro]

I've got the Sunday morning empties (x4)
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I need a shot of rhythm and blues

I woke up this morning in an empty bed
Empty thoughts in an empty head
There's an empty pillow, where my baby used to lay
Empty arms where she used to like to play
I've got the Sunday morning empties (x2)
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I need a shot of rhythm and blues

[12 bar instrumental]

Down in the kitchen got an empty fridge
A lot of empty bottles on an empty ledge
Got an empty car full of empty gas
And an empty wallet full of empty cash
I've got the Sunday morning empties (x2)
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I need a shot of rhythm and blues

[12 bar instrumental]

I got an empty feeling deep down in my heart
You know I get that way when my Plymouth doesn't start
Got a couple dozen empties in my empty trunk
I've got an empty mind and I'm still a little drunk
I've got the Sunday morning empties (x2)
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I need a shot of rhythm and blues

[12 bar instrumental]

I've got the Sunday morning empties (x4)
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I ain't got nothing to lose
I've got the Sunday morning empties and I ain't got nothing without you
