Now broken hearted people always seem to drink And tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think But living with a liar is a hard old way to go Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old So take me to a barroom driver Set me on a stool If I can't be her man I'm damned if I'll be her fool They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart To think I just found out she was lyin' from the start So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh Hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat So take me to a barroom driver Set me on a stool If I can't be her man I'm damned if I'll be her fool So get this taxi movin' cause I got no time to lose There's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do Cause I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose And if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you So take me to a barroom driver Set me on a stool If I can't be her man I'm damned if I'll be her fool
