James Carney - Missouri's Broken Lyrics



James Carney - Missouri's Broken Lyrics
Official




I took a wrong turn on a long lonely night
Gave in to the whispers of barroom lights
I know I broke the vow I swore to you
Now guitar strings and liquor shots are all I can do
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
It was miles and miles and a lonely bed
Temptation took hold and messed with my head
One moment of weakness one night's mistake
Now I'm left with the pieces of a love I betrayed
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
I tell myself someday I'll face the truth
That I traded love for a moment's youth
Each chord's a confession every shot's a scar
But I can't mend the strings that I've pulled too far
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
When the lights go down and I'm left with regret
I know I'm the reason you left
Someday I'll own up to the man I became
But tonight guitar strings and liquor shots drown out the shame

I took a wrong turn on a long lonely night
Gave in to the whispers of barroom lights
I know I broke the vow I swore to you
Now guitar strings and liquor shots are all I can do
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
It was miles and miles and a lonely bed
Temptation took hold and messed with my head
One moment of weakness one night's mistake
Now I'm left with the pieces of a love I betrayed
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
I tell myself someday I'll face the truth
That I traded love for a moment's youth
Each chord's a confession every shot's a scar
But I can't mend the strings that I've pulled too far
Every note cuts deep every sip burns hard
A bitter taste left from takin' it too far
Yeah I play to forget and I drink for my sins
But these strings and shots won't make me whole again
Guitar strings and liquor shots I'm such a fool
And they're the only way I'm getting over you
When the lights go down and I'm left with regret
I know I'm the reason you left
Someday I'll own up to the man I became
But tonight guitar strings and liquor shots drown out the shame
