V1
Dusty saddle on the bar room floor
He drinks up and then he orders more
He’s gonna keep going
There ain’t no end in sight
Busted up on a bronc last night
That little pony put up quite a fight
He never knew what hit him
Until his lights went out
CHORUS
And this time he couldn’t buy a friend
This time it’s all gone wrong again
This time all the news is bad
This time the whiskey ain’t workin’
This time everything’s broken beyond repair… This time
V2
She took the pickup and she found his cash
Headed for Dallas now she’s gonna crash
She spent every penny on crystal meth and cigarettes
He remembers how she looked before
How she always always left him wanting more
Now he can’t stand the memory
But he can’t quite forget
CHORUS
And this time he couldn’t buy a friend
This time she’s on the loose again
This time all the news is bad
This time the whiskey ain’t workin’
This time everything’s broken beyond repair… This time
BRIDGE
He woke up in some cheap motel
All alone and it hurts like hell
And he’s just gonna have to take it like a man
CHORUS
Cos this time he couldn’t buy a friend
This time it really looks like the end
This time all the news is bad
This time the whiskey ain’t workin’
This time everything’s broken beyond repair… This time
