I was on the rise from rock bottom
One foot out of the grave
Running from the bottle
That'd left me a slave
Thinking which piece should I follow
To my new start
That's the funny thing about a broken heart

Chorus: It just reminisces yesterday's scars
Looking for the answers
In honky-tonks and bars
That's the funny thing about a broken heart

Now there's been women
Along the way
That have tested
What a lonely heart can take
And their memories
Will never depart
That's the funny thing about a broken heart
Chorus

The music takes it somewhere
Beyond it's loneliness
Before the bitter taste
Of a goodbye kiss
Just like guitars and Cadillacs
It plays its part
That's the funny thing about a broken heart
Chorus
