When I was a child running wild
I had a dream someday I'd be a man
I'd build me a castle, it'd be no hassle
And I could do it with my bare hands
But I grew up, broken hearted
And all my dreams turned blue
So I got me a guitar and some whiskey
And now I'm here singing to you
Some break from crying, some break from lying
But my heart broke under different circumstance
Who am I kiddin'? Honest, I'm fibbin'
It was her cries and lies and romance all along
She left me brokenhearted
And all our dreams turned blue
So I got me this guitar and a bottle of whiskey
And now I'm here singing to you
When they lay me to rest, I think it'd be best
To throw my ashes out to sea
All scattered in pieces, I hear it increases
Your chance of feeling free
I'll leave here broken hearted
But in heaven I'll be fine
I'll find me a new heart and forget the whiskey
I'll be singing with angels and drinking wine
Yeah, I'll be singing with angels
Drinking cherry red wine
