Acid Tongue

I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe
 He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"
 "I beg your pardon, I'm not lookin' for a cure,
 I've seen enough of my friends in the depths of the godsick blues"
 You know I am a liar
 You know I am a liar
 Nobody helps a liar
 'Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
 Tripped upon the land 'til enough was enough
 I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
 I was a little drunk and looking for company
 So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
 We were unlucky in love, but I'd do it all again
 We built ourselves a fire
 We built ourselves a fire
 But you know I am a liar
 You know I am a liar
 And you don't know what I've done
 By the rolling river is exactly where I was
 There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love
 To be lonely is a habit like smoking or taking drugs
 And I've quit them both, but, man, was it rough
 And now I am tired
 It just made me tired
 Let's build ourselves a fire
 Let's build ourselves a fire
