Generate meaning
1
Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart
2
Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
3
And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink
4
And I wish you'd a known her, we were quite a pair
5
She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer
6
So welcome to the continuing saga
7
She was my better half and I was just a dog
8
And so here I am slumped, I've been chipped
9
I've been chumped on my stool
10
So buy this fool some spirits and libations
11
It's these railroad station bars
12
And all these conductors and the porters
13
And I'm all out of quarters
14
And this epitaph is the aftermath
15
Yeah, I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath
16
He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya
17
No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell
18
And some guy's trying to sell me a watch
19
And so I'll meet you at the
20
Bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch
21
I got me a bottle and a dream
22
It's so maudlin it seems
23
You can name your poison
24
Go on ahead and make some noise
25
I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase
26
It's a rental and it's purgatory
27
And hey, what's your story, well, I don't even care
28
'Cause I got my own double-cross to bear
29
And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more
30
And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more
31
'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames
32
It ain't like asbestos, it don't do nothing but rest us assured
33
And substantiate the rumors that you've heard
