My eyes are aching from the weight on them The pain of living is such a bore To make you happy I must bend for you But I can't take it anymore. And all the morning birds may laugh at me But they've got the same straight jobs to do And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night. I stumbled around with my eyes half closed And curse the sun for being so bright I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why The river of life for you runs right. And all the morning birds may laugh at me But they've got the same straight jobs to do And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night. My head is poundin' as I'm sittin' here And my mind's not workin' like it should Come on, guitar, you've got to save me And get me back feelin' like I should.
