(Merle Haggard)

I only call when I've had that one too many
And my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl
And tonight I couldn't even find my pillow
I've got the emptiest arms in the world.

I no longrer wear the gold band on my finger
And from time to time I find myself a girl
But when I realize that she's not who I'm holding
I've got the emptiest arms in the world.

Empty arms won't ever hold you close again
And these cheap hotels they're like a prison cell that keeps closin' in
And you alone can fill this lonely feelin'
Of the emptiest arms in the world.

--- Instrumental ---

And you alone can fill this empty feelin'
Of the emptiest arms in the world.
