Lyric Bad Liver and a Broken Heart

Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart
yea I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
and I don t have a drinking problem
cept 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 am I slumped
I been chippied I been chumped
on my stool
so buy this fool, some spirits and libations
it s these railroad station bars
with all these conductors and the porters
and I m all out of quarters
and this epitaph is the aftermath
yea I choose my path
hey come on Cath, he s a lawyer,
he ain t the one for ya
and 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, 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.
