Broken hearted people always seem to drink   Tryin' to drown those sorrows, it ain't as easy as you think   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 lyin' from the start   So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh   Well, hold on to your lampshade darlin', 'cause I'm looking for a hat      And you 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      So get this taxi movin' because I have got no time to lose   And there's no time to be choosy, you know that any old bar will do   And I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose   And if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you      Now 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      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
