I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
My baby's gone and left me I've lost all I can lose
I've got a hundred proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down
You waded through my tears and said goobye
You didn't seem to care how much I'd cry
You made your home the tavern down the street
And this old heart cries out with every beat
I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
You're holdin' someone else tonight I just got the news
You left a hundred proof heartache for a love that's second hand
This hundred proof heartache I can't stand
[ piano - steel ]
I've got a hundred proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down
