Dear Liver

If I told you I'm sorry Would you forgive me More than once I know I've put you through some hell Its apparent that you can't leave Or walk out on me, but its plain to see Dear liver I didn't do this on my own There's been broken hearts College bars A dirt road romance that hit me real hard And yes you can't forget all those slow George Jones songs I've seen blues eye cry in the rain Woken up to numbness and right side pain Dear liver I didn't do this on my own Jim and Jack both helped me Instill some pain on you I tried to say no, but the Turkey Won out a time or two If I'd known what I couldn't see How my bad decisions would come back to haunt me Dear liver, please know I didn't do this on my own There's been broken hearts College bars A dirt road romance that hit me real hard And yes you can't forget, all those slow George Jones songs I've seen blues eye cry in the rain Woken up to numbness and right side pain Dear liver I didn't do this on my own I tried to fight my demons And it came at our expense I only wish I'd had a little less hurt And a lot more common sense Please don't leave me now I need you And I hope my case has shown Dear liver I didn't do this on my own Dear liver I didn't do this on my own

Thanks Maureen! Not sure if it's a fun sad song, or a sad fun song.
