So your heart's been broke
And your head is hurtin'
And the things you're tryin'
None of them are workin'

For a guy like you
In such a blue condition
I know what you need
There's only one prescription

Put some alcohol on it
Put some alcohol on it
It's real good stuff
It will fix you right up

Burns a little, don't it?
But you know you're gonna want it
When you're cut and bruised
The only thing to do
Put some alcohol on it

You don't need to see
Your family doctor
What I'm recommending
Is a better offer

It's a whole lot cheaper
It will heal you faster
In a while her being gone
Won't even matter

Put some alcohol on it
Put some alcohol on it
It's real good stuff
It will fix you right up

Burns a little, don't it?
But you know you're gonna want it
When you're cut and bruised
The only thing to do
Put some alcohol on it

A little barstool medication
A little cure for what you're ailing
