Clark, Guy - Broken Hearted People Lyrics
Now broken hearted people always seem to drink
And tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think
But living with a liar is a hard old way to go
Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old
Set me on a stool
If I can't be her man
I'm damned if I'll be her fool
They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart
To think I just found out she was lyin' from the start
So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh
Hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat
So take me to a barroom driver
If I can't be her man
I'm damned if I'll be her fool
So get this taxi movin' cause I got no time to lose
There's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do
Cause I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose
And if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you
So take me to a barroom driver
Set me on a stool
If I can't be her man
I'm damned if I'll be her fool

It's good but I like Gary Stewart's better.
Gary's version was damn good.
Consider the Source
well, there's no accounting for taste... that vibrato has no place in this song...nor does that tempo
@Rick Hewitt obviously there is no accounting for your taste. Gary's vibrato is what gave all the emotion in his music.
@oldtreasures i don't know...if you have to use vibrato to express emotion....well, i'll just leave that right there... i'd prefer to listen to the master that lived it, wrote it and expresses it with the real emotion that it deserves

song is called on finnish,viekaa minut baariin.
"Särkynytsydämiset"!!!
Joo, oli ihan kiva versio froikkareilta!
I like it! No idea what they're saying but I like it anyway!!
check out finnish version at this song,freud marx engels & jung..cool song!
Open a bottle of rye, sip on it til the lines in the hyway get blurry and you've got Guy Clark...misfit rounder poet prophet king and silent sadeyed vagabond all rolled up in one hand rolled smoke of undetermined origins...American true and real, that's Guy
Charlie Beaver f
I suspect Charlie Beaver is a purty good songwriter hisself.
One of my fav songs...wish Guy would play it live!
Hell Yeah!
"HELL" is NOT "YEAH"!
That`s good, but Finnish cover Freud Marx Engels & Jung is good too.
"SärKYnytsydämiset"!!!
One of my all time favorites. Guy Clark is the very best writer since Hank Williams.
But written by Gary Stewart.
He was incredible but not Townes
