Broken hearted people always seem to drink And tryin' to drown those sorrows it ain't as easy as you think And living with a liar is a hard old way to go Laughing just to keep from cryin' 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 Whiskey ain't the best way then I ain't too smart Think I just found out she was lying from the start If this is nothing but a bad joke looking for a laugh Hold on to your lampshade darling I'm looking for a hat And you take me to a barroom driver set me on a stool... [ guitar ] So get this taxi movin' I got no time to lose No time to be choosy you know that any old bar will do I'm looking to get slightly drunk I'm looking to get loose And if that don't get it done darling I'll come looking for you Take me to a barroom driver set me on a stool... Take me to a barroom driver set me on a stool...
