Lyrics
Well she stole my heart, and she tore up my whole world.
Gave me back my ring and left me for another girl.
I thought it was forever, man I thought it was love.
Till she left me in a cloud of dust.
Well I tried to call my mama but she wasn't at home,
Tried my buddies but nobody picked up the phone.
So I head on out to the honky-tonk side of town.
Where the Good-Time-Charlies get drunk and loud
And you can sing right along with the heartbreak crowd
I'm alright, baby I'll admit you hurt me just a little
Broke me down, shook me up,
And it might take a little time, tequila, and a little lime
But thats just fine.
You aint gonna see me crying lie a baby,
I'll shoot down your memory with a bottle and someone new
Only one way to face this.
Time well wasted.
I've heard that love is a burning thing,
And I fell right onto that fiery ring,
But she stomped my flame out with an itty bitty goodbye kiss
Yeah my hearts still smoking like charcoal brick
But it aint nothing that a little Patron can't fix.
I'm alright, baby I'll admit you hurt me just a little
Broke me down, shook me up,
And it might take a little time, tequila, and a little lime
But thats just fine.
You aint gonna see me crying lie a baby,
I'll shoot down your memory with a bottle and someone new
Only one way to face this.
Time well wasted.
I'm alright, baby I'll admit you hurt me just a little
Broke me down, shook me up,
And it might take a little time, tequila, and a little lime
But thats just fine.
You aint gonna see me crying lie a baby,
I'll shoot down your memory with a bottle and someone new
Only one way to face this.
Time well wasted.
