Doctor said, “Son, you better slow it down” I said, “Doc, you must be new in town” I’ve been running red lights since I was twenty-two My heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you I gave it whiskey, cigarettes and pain A couple good women and a whole lotta rain It carried every damn thing I put it through Then my heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you [Chorus] My heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you “I’ve done all the dirty work you asked me to You broke me for women who never loved you And drowned me in whiskey when they said we’re through Seventy-some years, I’ve been carrying you “Now find somebody else to abuse.” Then it kicked like a shotgun with nothing to lose. My heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you [Verse 2] I woke up staring at fluorescent lights Some nurse said, “Honey, you gave us a fright” Doctor shook his head, said, “You’re lucky, you fool” I said, “Yeah, but my heart’s got an attitude” He said, “No more whiskey, no more staying out late Eat your damn vegetables, lose some weight” My heart started pounding like it already knew Me and that doctor aint gonna make it through [Chorus] My heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you “I’ve done all the dirty work you asked me to You broke me for women who never loved you And drowned me in whiskey when they said we’re through Seventy-some years, I’ve been carrying you “Now find somebody else to abuse.” Then it kicked like a shotgun with nothing to lose. My heart stopped beating and said, “Damn you [Bridge] I said, “Heart, we’ve still got songs to sing” It said, “Then quit treating me like a punching bag, King” “We got a few more miles, but here’s the deal— You buy the guitar, and I’ll try to heal” [Final Chorus] My heart started beating and said, “Screw it, let’s go” There’s another damn song and another damn show Death was at the doorway, but he never came through Guess even the Devil’s got better things to do So pour me some coffee, bring in the band I ain’t quite finished being who I am One day that old heart will finally be through— But tonight it’s still beating.. Damn you
