Lyrics
I got no reason for living since the day that she said goodbye
I tried making her happy-- she wanted more than I could supply
She was always lookin'; for guys with bigger wallets than me
She just wanted to live the high life, but she was
Goin' down the drain with me
[Chorus]
She ripped my heart out
I know I'll never survive (I feel more dead than alive)
Just send the coroner to barstool #5
I'm gonna keep on drinkin'
Givin' up on the rest of my life
Yeah, I'm stuck like glue, feelin' sad and blue
Here on barstool #5
She threw me over for a guy in a new Ram truck
He made her feel more like a queen--so I guess I'm outta luck
I'm sick and tired of hearing, there's more dang fish in the sea
She has me hooked right through the heart
I'd rather drown than be set free (chorus)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Everyone here knows my story and they're tryin' to help me survive
But I'll sit right here, cryin' in my beer; on barstool #5 (chorus)
[Last lines of last chorus]
I ain't inclined to move, 'cause my life is through
Ain't nobody left for me to go home to
I'm on barstool #5
Just let me die on barstool #5
