Broken Hearted People

(альбом: Texas Cookin' - 1976)

Now broken hearted people always seem to drink
And trying to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think
But living with a liar is a hard old way to go
Laughing 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 lying from the start
So if this is nothing but a bad joke looking for a laugh
Hold on to your lampshade darling 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 moving cause I got no time to lose
There's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do
Cause I'm looking to get silly and I'm looking to get loose
And if that don't get it done darling, 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
