Karaoké 6th of October Ashley McBryde

I threw up this mornin' in Christiansburg VA

I drove down from PA

Slept in my van

And I can still taste the whiskey from the last fool that kissed me

And the people who miss me

I can count on one hand

He missed by a mile

A Paso Fino caballo

That girl in Ohio with hair black as coal

She was charmed for a moment by a circus clown poet and boy did he blow it and she let him go

Reckless hearts

The tattered and bruised ones

The slightly confused ones

The ones holdin' stools down in bars

Show up and find us and gently remind us to not be ashamed of our scars or who we are

I've been sayin' I was sober since the sixth of October but all that was over when I heard him say

There's a friend you been missin' with a fifth in the kitchen

We started sippin' and he faded away

Reckless hearts

The tattered and bruised ones

The slightly confused ones

The ones holdin' stools down in bars

Show up and find us and gently remind us to not be afraid of our scars or who we are

So just live in the rhythm and the rhymes when you get 'em

And the notes when you miss 'em 'cos you drank all night long

In all of his runnin' he showed me somethin'

That dyin' ain't nothin' and I can't prove him wrong
