Broken Hearted People (Take Me To A Barroom)

Guy Clark

© April Music, ASCAP

Broken hearted people always seem to drink
And tryin' to drown those sorrows it ain't as easy as you think
But livin' with a liar is a hard old way to go
And laughin' just to keep from cryin' there ain't no way to grow old

But take me to a barroom brother put me on a stool
If I cannot 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
I think that I just found out she was lying from the start
So if this is for a bad joke I'm searching for a laugh
So hold on to your lampshade darling I'm looking for a hat

And take me to a barroom brother put me on a stool...
[ instrumental ]
Yeah so get this taxi movin' I got no time to lose
No time to be choosy you know that any old bar will do
Hey I'm looking to get sloppy you hear me I'm looking to get loose
If that don't do it darling I'll come looking for you

And take me to a barroom brother put me on a stool...
Take me to a barroom brother put me on a stool...
