Try within you never really can repair what hurts inside
Still remember when the good times rolled and you still had your pride
Just when you think you got your lesson learned
You're going for love and you get burned

How do you mend an achin' heart, when there's too many holes to fill
Follow me down to the boathouse and drown in the old river swill

Hard to resist the passion in the heat of the night
Couldn't see enough of her, now I can't stand her sight
Wasn't even lookin' when you came along
Seems like just yesterday when I sang you a song
That don't make no blue kind of tape in me
Nothing's gonna stop this old heart a-bleedin'

How do you mend achin' heart's been so many years
Guess I'll go drink a riverbed, just drown myself in tears

How do you mend an achin' heart, when there's too many holes to fill
Follow me down to the boathouse and drown in the old river swill

Yaaaa-eeee-yaaah
Yaah yaah yaah yaah
Yaah yaah yaah
Yaah yaah yaah yaah
