Broken Hearted People Lyrics - The Essential Guy Clark - Guy Clark

Now broken hearted people always seem to drink 

And tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think 

But living with a liar is a hard old way to go 

Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old 

[Chorus] 

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 

Hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat 

[Chorus]
