My eyes are aching from the weight on them

The pain of living is such a bore

To make you happy I must bend for you

But I can't take it anymore.



And all the morning birds may laugh at me

But they've got the same straight jobs to do

And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all

With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.



I stumbled around with my eyes half closed

And curse the sun for being so bright

I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why

The river of life for you runs right.



And all the morning birds may laugh at me

But they've got the same straight jobs to do

And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all

With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.



My head is poundin' as I'm sittin' here

And my mind's not workin' like it should

Come on, guitar, you've got to save me

And get me back feelin' like I should.
