Verse 1]
Woke up on the couch with one boot on,
Phone blowin’ up, all the beer’s gone.
My head’s ringin’ like a church bell fight,
Guess whiskey won again last night.
There’s a taco wrapper in the passenger seat,
And I don’t even own a dog named Pete.
My wallet’s empty, my pride is too,
And I smell like regret and Mountain Dew.
[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s a headache and a heartache, rollin’ like a freight train,
Should’ve stopped drinkin’ round beer number eight.
Now I’m payin’ for the laughs, every sip, every song,
Tryin’ to piece together where it all went wrong.
Yeah, I danced with the devil in a neon haze,
Now I’m prayin’ to the Lord for some better days.
Ain’t no worse kinda dawn
Than wakin’ up and she’s gone —
With a headache and a heartache hangin’ on.
[Verse 2]
Found a note on the counter, smudged with tears,
Said, “I’m done with your games and your half-warm beers.”
She left while I was three sheets deep,
While I was singin’ Skynyrd off key in my sleep.
I swore I’d change about a hundred times,
But a promise don’t mean much at closing time.
Now it’s cold eggs and lukewarm sin,
Wonderin’ if she’ll take me back again.
[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s a headache and a heartache, rollin’ like a freight train,
Should’ve stopped drinkin’ round beer number eight.
Now I’m payin’ for the laughs, every sip, every song,
Tryin’ to piece together where it all went wrong.
Yeah, I danced with the devil in a neon haze,
Now I’m prayin’ to the Lord for some better days.
Ain’t no worse kinda dawn
Than wakin’ up and she’s gone —
With a headache and a heartache hangin’ on.
[Bridge]
If rock bottom had a barstool, I’ve sat in it,
Poured every excuse in a 90-proof minute.
Now I’m facin’ the price of my late-night sin,
Swearin’ I ain’t gonna do it again…
Till next weekend.
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, it’s headache and a heartache, rollin’ through my soul,
Feelin’ more broke than my fishing pole.
And I’m starin’ at the ceiling, tryin’ to make things right,
With a bottle of water and a prayer tonight.
If she don’t come back, well, I can’t blame her,
Hell, I can barely face my own behavior.
But I’ll put that bottle down,
If it’ll turn this thing around —
‘Cause this headache and heartache’s draggin’ me down.
[Outro]
Yeah, this headache… and heartache…
Are the only damn things stickin’ around.
