Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Down in the holler where the sun don't shine,
My old pickup's rusting, I'm out of my mind.
Met a one-eyed woman with a wooden leg,
She said, "Boy, let's dance, don't you dare beg."
I traded my dog for a gallon of gin,
Now I'm sittin' here wonderin' where the hell I've been.
Chorus:
Whiskey tears and broken dreams,
Life ain't as simple as it seems.
Lost my truck, lost my luck,
Just another day in this country muck.
Drunk on sorrow, high on pain,
Ridin' that train to insane.
Verse 2:
Found a possum in my bed, he's wearin' my hat,
Asked him for advice, he just spat.
Went to the barn, heard a ghostly sound,
My cow's in a corner, spinnin' 'round.
Grandma's on the roof with a shotgun and a grin,
She yells, "Get off my lawn, you damn aliens!"
Chorus:
Whiskey tears and broken dreams,
Life ain't as simple as it seems.
Lost my truck, lost my luck,
Just another day in this country muck.
Drunk on sorrow, high on pain,
Ridin' that train to insane.
Bridge:
Saw the preacher at the bar, knockin' back Jack,
He said, "Hell's right here, ain't no turnin' back."
I poured another drink, made a toast to the moon,
Danced with the devil, sang a sad tune.
Chorus:
Whiskey tears and broken dreams,
Life ain't as simple as it seems.
Lost my truck, lost my luck,
Just another day in this country muck.
Drunk on sorrow, high on pain,
Ridin' that train to insane.
Outro:
Now I'm sittin' by the river with a fishin' pole,
Catchin' memories, losin' control.
If you see a one-eyed woman with a wooden leg,
Tell her I'm here, by the whiskey keg.
Whiskey tears and broken dreams,
That's all I've got, or so it seems.
