Aaron Watson’s ‘Haggard Blues’was released on January 10, 2025
Since you’ve been gone, moved out and moved on
My life is like an old boat, safe and sound
Got on my knees and you told me not to waste my time
Then you threw out the roses, but you took the wine
Hard times and heartaches got me so hopeless
I’m so tired of hurting from these haggard blues
So I think I’ll just stay here and drink
If the whiskey would wash you out of my mind
Girl, I’d drown your memory
I’d pour out the pain
There’s no time for wine
Give me nothing but the finest from Tennessee
Drink after drink, round after round
The further I keep sinking
So take me down to the bottom of that pond
Misery and gin, I think I’ll play it again
Cause you played my heart like an old violin
You’re good by cast metal, finger up sucker, so long
He’s got me no show jonesing with a bottle of booze
Hard times and heartaches got me so hopeless
I’m so tired of hurting from these haggard blues
So I think I’ll just stay here and drink
Cause you went and took the best of me
Left the rest of me out here three sheets to the wind
Now my home is a honky-tonk dance hall
Till they call Blask, I’ll hang with my fair-weather friends
Pour me, pour me, pour me one more round
And play me some Whitney
Pour me, pour me, pour me one more round
If the whiskey would wash you out of my mind, girl I’d drown your memory
I’d pour out the pain, there’s no time for wine
Give me nothing but the finest from Tennessee
Drink after drink, round after round
The further I keep sinking
So take me down to the bottom of that bottle
Go on and take me on down to the bottom of that bottle
Yeah, I’m so tired of hurting from those haggard blues
I feel like no Sean Jones with a bottle of booze
I’m so tired of hurting from these haggard blues
