  • Hung over and hard up
    I'm broken down and messed up
    I never saw your leaving comin' but
    I sure felt it when it left

    Memory button stuck on repeat
    Mind skippin' like a record machine
    Over and over that goodbye scene
    Keeps spinnin' in my head

    It keeps haunting me
    And there ain't no maybe about it
    The hurt keeps calling me
    Come on out we got you surrounded
    Yeah, the bottle in my hand is loaded and
    I ain't afraid to use it tonight

    Hung over and hard up
    Pain hurts, whiskey's tough
    And too much ain't ever enough
    To break through your spell

    I'm livin' in a lost and found
    'Round and 'round, up and down
    I'm tired of this seesaw, merry-go-round
    So Mary, you can go to hell

    All I wanna do
    Is just get on down the highway
    And I'll be there as soon as
    I get on out of my way
    Yeah, the truth is like a hangman's noose
    And it's holdin' up my heart tonight

    Hung over and hard up
    I tried it all, well now what?
    I've given everything but up
    And up's going down the drain

    Just when I thought the coast was clear
    You're cloudin' up my atmosphere
    That mornin' sun's waitin' there when I wake up
    Hung over and hard up Writer/s: Eric Church, Luke Laird
