I woke up with my six-string hangin’
Like a ghost on the wall at dawn
She’s been cryin’ all night in open chords
Since the whiskey and you were gone
I tuned her low, like my mood last night
Let the silence bend the tone
And every strum was a stumble,
Like I was drinkin' alone
'Cause I'm strung out and poured in
This bottle’s my only sin
Mixin' sorrow with a slide
Where the hurtin' songs begin
Each note’s a shot of memory
That burns me from within
I’m a man of broken verses
Strung out and poured in
Bourbon sits where your perfume used to
On that table by the bed
My pick’s a corkscrew twistin’
Through every word you said
She moans just like a barfly
With a secret in her tone
And I write what the liquor whispers
When I’m drinkin’ all alone
Yeah I'm strung out and poured in
On strings soaked in my sin
Bleeding blues across the fretboard
Till the bottle lets me in
My melody’s a confession
My solo’s soaked in gin
I’m a prisoner of this rhythm
Strung out and poured in
The amp hums like a warning
But I keep pushin’ through
This room’s a bar, my heart's a scar
Still echoing you
Still strung out and poured in
Where the broken songs begin
Every note’s a damn reminder
Of the hell I'm livin’ in
When the lights go down, I'm fading
In this smoky violin
Just a soul with strings and sorrow
Strung out and poured in
