Heartaches and Hangovers
My pounding head's all the proof I need
To see that my life needs a change
And the heartaches that I've felt before
They both share the same blame
From the bottle came the turkey
From the can poured the shame
Since my missing you, I had to choose
How can I keep living life this way
Heartaches and hangovers
Broken dreams and wasted days
Not suttle in their difference
But they're one in the same
I don't wanna go on without you
Or see my life go to hell
These demons that I carry
Have me placed under their spell
Every night I have the same regrets
As I walk down the same road
Never finding what I'm looking for
Like somehow I had hoped
Heartaches and hangovers
Keep me living in the lie
That the man reflecting back on me
Is somehow different deep inside
A broken man can sometimes wonder
Just where did he go wrong
He'll use the problems from his broken past
To write a damn good country song
Why did everyone who loved him
Or at least claimed that they'd tried
Run away without one regret
And leave him dying more inside
Heartaches and hangovers
With yourself you must get right
Stop living in your broken past
And keep walking towards the light
Heartaches and hangovers....
