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