Now broken hearted people always seem to drink 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 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 lying from the start So if this is nothin' but a bad joke looking for a laugh Well, hold on to your lampshade, darling, 'cause I'm looking for a hat And you take me to a barroom So get this taxi movin' because I got no time to lose There's no time to be choosy any old bar will do Now I'm looking to get silly and I'm looking to get loose And if that don't get it done darlin' I'll come looking for you Oh, now take me to a barroom Take me to a barroom
