Broken hearted people always seem to drink Tryin' to drown those sorrows, it ain't as easy as you think 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 Well, hold on to your lampshade darlin', 'cause I'm looking for a hat And you 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' because I have got no time to lose And there's no time to be choosy, you know that any old bar will do And 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 Now 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 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
