Whiskeytown

Well excuse me if I break my own heart
It's mine from the finish I guess
It was mine from the start
This situation just don't seem so goddamn smart
This situation is tearing me apart

So you'll have to excuse me
I break my own heart

Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Some things are born too strong
Have to learn how to fight
This situation keeps me drinking every goddamn midnight
This situation don't seem so right

So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

After all it was mine
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
Can I have it back sometime?

So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi town
Let your eyes drift easy into mine
If the rain falls down on your Mississippi town
Let your eyes drift into mine
You're on the road but your diary entry reads blank(it reads blank)
Is this some sort of joke to you?
Is this some sort of joke to you?

Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
Can I have it back sometime?

I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad

The letter I wrote,
Took words from my throat I was saying
Lay on the roadside
I guess the mailman was drunk
The message was urgent
How lazy a state where you don't live no-one

So I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad

Well, I was thinking that I shoulda
But I didn't ever leave you but baby, I'm leavin' tonight
And theres a trucker drinking coffee in the station
Who can give me a ride

Well, I was thinking about a heading down to
Mobile, Alabama and that was just last Saturday night
Well, I can leave you if I wanna, little baby
And I'm gonna tonight

'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
Theres a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you
But I changed my mind

Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight
And I can leave you if I wanna, little baby
And I'm gonna tonight

'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
And there's a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you
But I changed my mind

Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight
'Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby
And I'm gonna tonight

Well, I was sitting, I was drinking on a barstool
Thinking how true love becomes a lie
And I never should have left you but I had to
And I betcha there's a man there with you tonight

And I swore it to your daddy
That I missed you, but I didn't
If I came back it wouldn't be right
'Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby
And I'm gonna tonight

Well I tried to find something
Something to hold on to
I thought it was you
'Cause I'm sick and tired
Of trying to make something

Something out of nothing
I guess that you were bluffing
Now I think I'm losing my mind
The pain in my heart

Was it worth the price
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the time that I wasted on you
You're giving me the Top Dollar blues

And I gave you it all, all
All that I could give you
You've taken what I've given
And thrown it all away

Like it's nothing
Never meant nothing
Now I'm left with nothing
What an awful price I've paid

The pain in my heart
Was it worth the price
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the time that I wasted on you

You're giving me the Top Dollar blues
I've bet all my money and that's how it goes
You ran a good race
But you lost just by a nose

It's true
Baby you're giving me the Top Dollar blues
The Top Dollar blues
I gave you it all, all

All that I could give you
And the Top Dollar blues
Top Dollar blues

Whatever happened to you?
You've changed.
And I'm still wrong (? ? ? ? ? )
I know you wanted to stay so long
And I'm still alone (? ? ? )
There were no secrets
There were no stories
There was no one around
There were no reasons
There was no questions
There is no point now
Whatever happened to you?
You've changed.
And I'm still (? ? ? ? ? )
I know you wanted to stay so long
(? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
So tell me your secret
Did you want to see me pull my guns (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
So tell me your secret
There were no stories
Nobody won
I'll give you a reason
And I'll wage a war (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
With a punch from your face (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
I'll stand my guard
I'll give you a reason
You might see it
You might hate it
You might never know your name (? ? ? ? ? ? )

So tell me a secret
Tell me one more lie

You feel sad 'cause I got mad
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Things I said made things seem bad
But don't worry

'Cause it's gonna be alright now
It'll be okay
You know I just don't think
Before I speak

I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And I thought it was you

All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known I could make it alone
But I'm changing

And I'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just woke up
And I see the way

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance

It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no, oh no

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's the end, it's wrong at last
Give me another chance

Well I'm saving this dress for my wedding day
Momma wouldn't have it any other way
She says when she married
Her waist was twenty three

I guess I'll never wear it anyway
I don't believe I care to marry
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me

Matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die
I'm saving all my money for my wedding day
You know my momma wouldn't have it any other way

She says when she married
She didn't have a dime
But I guess I'll spend that money some other way
Because I don't believe I care to marry

Although I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me
That matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die

Well I'm saving my best thing for my wedding day
Because my poppa wouldn't have it any other way
He says if I lose it early
I'll have thrown my life away

But I swear I'll use my cherry my own way
I don't believe I care to marry
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me

Matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die

Well excuse me if I break my own heart
It's mine from the finish I guess
It was mine from the start
This situation just don't seem so goddamn smart
This situation is tearing me apart

So you'll have to excuse me
I break my own heart

Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Some things are born too strong
Have to learn how to fight
This situation keeps me drinking every goddamn midnight
This situation don't seem so right

So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

After all it was mine
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
Can I have it back sometime?

So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi town
Let your eyes drift easy into mine
If the rain falls down on your Mississippi town
Let your eyes drift into mine
You're on the road but your diary entry reads blank(it reads blank)
Is this some sort of joke to you?
Is this some sort of joke to you?

Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Well excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
After all it was mine
Can I have it back sometime?
