Lyrics
Wandering around this lonesome town
Wonderin how everything got upside
She is his and he is hers
& that's the way it is
& booze has become my best friend
Trudging my shoes through the concrete blues
Waiting for any sign of you
Bug-eyed & broken I've been up for a while
& that's the way it is
& booze has become my best friend
I can pickle my liver
You can leave me for dead
Cuz this town's so lonesome
It's got me down
Cuts on my hands and & scabs on my lips
All I wanna do is get a little wet
Cuz no one likes a crazy dick
& that's the way it is
& booze has become my best friend
So I got me some whiskey & I got me some wine
To heal this lonesome body of mine
Cuz she is still his & he is still hers
& that's the way it is
