I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"
I beg your pardon I'm not looking for a cure
Seen enough of my friends in the depths of the god-sick blues
You know I am a liar You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar
Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land until enough was enough
I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk and looking for company
So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again
We build ourselves a fire We build ourselves a fire
You know I am a liar You know I am a liar
And you don't know what I've done
And by the rolling river is exactly where I was
There was no snake or cure for unlucky in love
To be lonely is a habit like smokin or taking drugs and I've quit them both
But man, was it rough
Now I am tired It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire
