Bad Liver And A Broken Heart Lyrics - Trouble In Mind - Hayes Carll

Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart 

Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart 

And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink 

And I wish you'd a known her, we were quite a pair 

She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer 

So welcome to the continuing saga 

She was my better half and I was just a dog 

And so here I am slumped, I've been chipped 

I've been chumped on my stool 

So buy this fool some spirits and libations 

It's these railroad station bars 

And all these conductors and the porters 

And I'm all out of quarters 

And this epitaph is the aftermath 

Yeah, I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath 

He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya 

No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell 

And some guy's trying to sell me a watch 

And so I'll meet you at the 

Bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch 

I got me a bottle and a dream 

It's so maudlin it seems 

You can name your poison 

Go on ahead and make some noise 

I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase 

It's a rental and it's purgatory 

And hey, what's your story, well, I don't even care 

'Cause I got my own double-cross to bear 

And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more 

And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more 

'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames 

It ain't like asbestos, it don't do nothing but rest us assured 

And substantiate the rumors that you've heard
