lyrics

I think I saw your stepmother
Smoking grass at Midway Park
It weren't her old man but another
She'd been kissing at the bars

God, I felt like shit all Sunday
I think I'll go downtown

But it takes seven shots of whiskey
Three men to haul me out the bar
I've know hundreds of hard luck women
It took one to break my heart

Carolynn I got your number
I know you wrote it on a matchbook sleeve
Heard you was hitched to some plumber
That the bottle runs in his family

But girl I'll take you out next Sunday
To any bar downtown

But it takes seven shots of whiskey
Three men to haul me out the bar
It takes a whole lot to keep me together
It took one to tear me apart

It takes a paycheck worth of malt liquor
A sad song on this old guitar
It ain't the first time I been forsaken
But it was the one that broke my heart
It took one to break my heart
