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 [Chorus:] 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 [repeat chorus] A little barstool medication A little cure for what you're ailing
