I stare out of the window
And watch the hours pass
I empty one more bottle
Into my empty glass
I don't know where she went to
Or how long she'll be gone
So I've been drinking whiskey
Waiting for my baby to come home
I haven't seen the bathtub
In just about a week
I've given up on sleeping
And I don't want to eat
Ever since she left me
I just weep and moan
And I've been drinking whiskey
Waiting for my baby to come
I bet she's getting lonely
And she'll be back home soon
I leave the porch light shining
From five o'clock 'til noon
I'm trying to be patient
But I feel so alone
So I've been drinking whiskey
Waiting for my baby to come home
Now baby, baby, baby
Please come back to me
I swear I'll give up whiskey
Now how hard can it be?
Everyday without you
Is another day I'm stoned
'Cause I've been drinking whiskey
Waiting for my baby to come home
