Whisky Night

My eyes are aching from the weight on them
 The pain of living is such a bore
 To make you happy I must bend for you
 But I can't take it anymore.
 And all the morning birds may laugh at me
 But they've got the same straight jobs to do
 And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
 With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
 I stumbled around with my eyes half closed
 And curse the sun for being so bright
 I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why
 The river of life for you runs right.
 And all the morning birds may laugh at me
 But they've got the same straight jobs to do
 And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
 With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
 My head is poundin' as I'm sittin' here
 And my mind's not workin' like it should
 Come on, guitar, you've got to save me
 And get me back feelin' like I should.
