Well, I'm a fool And she's long gone Now my life's just a mirror to the lyrics of a country song If you're wonderin' about how I've been Ever since she tore out the drive Well, I'm hangin' tough, holdin' up, lucky just to be alive So I'm tyin' on a high and lonesome 'Til I ain't feelin' no pain I'm gonna park my butt on this old bar stool 'Til they drag my ass away Hard times call for hard liquor And a honky tonk atmosphere I might be heart-broke But at least I'm here ♪ It's been hell Could be worse Could be six feet deep underneath this Texas dirt But I'm above ground, gonna have another round Shootin' down anything you wanna pour And I ain't stoppin' 'til they chain that lock on them swingin' doors 'Cause I'm tyin' on a high and lonesome 'Til I ain't feelin' no pain I'm gonna park my butt on this old bar stool 'Til they drag my ass away Hard times call for hard liquor And a honky tonk atmosphere I might be heart-broke But at least I'm here Where the river of the cold beer flows Blue's a little brighter with a neon glow ♪ Yeah, hard times call for hard liquor And a honky tonk atmosphere I might be heart-broke But at least I'm here (where the river of the cold beer flows) Yeah, I might be heart-broke But at least I'm here ♪ Ha
