Miss Emily’s Picture
Recorded by John Conlee written by Red Lane

C
I wake up in the morning in a state of fright

On the wrong side of the bed all night
F C
Clinging to the broken heart inside my head
F G7
Open my eyes and I move my hand
F G7
Round her pillow to the night stand
F G7 C
And straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed


Go to the office the works piled up

Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
F C
And cry on my best friend's shoulder down the hall
F G7
Feels so lonely when I close the door
F G7
Bite my nails and I walk the floor
F G7 C
And straighten Miss Emily's picture on my wall

F C
Look out my window and what do I see
G7
Nothing but pain looking back at me
C F C
All that my future means to me
Dm
Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind
F G7 C
And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then


Leave my office and I go downtown

To a little bar we all hang around
F C
Laugh drink shoot pool and have a ball
F G7
When the laughter stops and the hurting takes hold
F G7
Reach in my pocket for my billfold
F G7 C
And show Miss Emily's picture to 'em all


I stagger in the house and I slam the door

Scatter my clothes all over the floor
F C
Wishing I could do the same thing in my head
F G7
Drink a beer and I eat a bite
F G7
And just before I turn out the light
F G7 C
Straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed
