lyrics

mixin strong drinks with a man who thinks
don't bring good news
he just bleeds the blues
he's low down through and through

and there ain't much worse than an endless thirst
you keep pourin that booze
on them open wounds
from a lack of better things to do

when there ain't no other place than lonely
and there aint no lower place than high
a drunken hideaway's the only
way that I can find of gettin' by

being dragged through the dirt
brings the sting and the hurt
it gonna leave some scars
if the healings too hard
shoot some whiskey that empty heart

spending these nights where the neon lights
drown out the moon
all these Nashville ruins
haunting sad old country tunes

when there ain't no other place than lonely
and there aint no lower place than high
a drunken hideaway's the only
way that I can find of gettin' by
