Now these old beer bones Are like a rusty old plow
These cigarette eyes are 'Bout to burn out
But they're still doing better
Better than my heart
These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile The soles on my boots have walked their last mile But they're still doing better
Better than my heart
You filled it with your love
Then you drained it out
Sometimes I think you built it up Just to break it down
Now all that's really left Is an emptiness inside
A river running cold, memories growing old Dying right there on the vine
Now these old beer bones Are like a rusty old plow These cigarette eyes are ‘Bout to burn out But they're still doing better
Better than my heart
These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile The soles on my boots have walked their last mile But they're still doing better Better than my heart
Now these old beer bones Are like a rusty old plow These cigarette eyes are 'Bout to burn out But they're still doing better
Better than my heart
These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile The soles on my boots have walked their last mile But they're still doing better Better than my heart
Yeah, they're still doing better Better than my heart Better than my heart
