I can't find a way to sleep,
So I guess I'll just surrender,
And let this town have it's way
If I just took time to breathe,
I could hear ol' hank a warning
Not to go down this way

The bars are open wide,
And your friends they lie in waiting
On this I've learned I can rely
They are plotting as they dance,
Hiding fraud within their smiles
Kiss and hug with knives in hand

[Chorus:]

Spitting lies, just to find
There's a reason why we're never satisfied
From the long walk home,
To the reasons why we go to bed alone

Hey this whiskey must be broken,
Cause it ain't hardly working
To erase her from my mind
Get on up and stumble home
As the vultures plot behind you
To pick the meat right from your bones

Oh god my soul, my life,
Please don't let her see that I'm falling apart
The streetlights burn so bright,
And all the way home they remind me of
The night she stole my heart
