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 pa**ion 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
