Lyrics
I talked to a shrink, told him 'bout you
Advised me to learn to forget
Seems to me you're just hurtin' yourself
I looked at him and I said
I can still laugh, don't drink too much
After four AM
Quit smoking for thirty eight minutes
Sleep whenever I can
I've slowed down to ninety miles an hour
Out on the open road
Don't worry 'bout me takin' care of myself
I know about lettin' go
Yeah, I know about letting' go
I said, "Doc, is there a pill I can take
To help me forget her in time?
Though I'm pretty sure in a century or two
She won't even cross my mind"
CHORUS
BR
He said, "we're our own worst enemy
And you're living proof it's true
Seem like you're up a creek with no paddle
Hell son, you ain't got a canoe
CH
