Down and Out
Heartache Harmony: George Strait's Tale of Love's Departure
Lyrics
Well, I'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearin' me apart
Feeling emotionally torn and devastated because of the impact of a woman leaving.
If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart
While the outer appearance might not show it, internally, the pain and hurt are profound.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt
The expression in the eyes conveys a deep sense of distress and anguish.
But since my woman left, I'm down and out
The departure of the woman has caused a state of feeling low and defeated.
Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind
Being at a bar, possibly intoxicated, feeling disconnected from reality.
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind
Feeling extremely tense or stressed without any means to relax or ease the tension.
Well, that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about
The music playing reflects the emotional turmoil experienced, as if the jukebox understands the pain.
But since my woman left, I'm down and out
Continuing to feel defeated and low since the woman's departure.
Well, I'm down to my last dollar, but I don't really care
Financially struggling but indifferent due to the emotional turmoil taking precedence.
My friends have all got whiskey and they don't mind if I share
Surrounded by friends who are supportive and willing to share their resources (whiskey) despite the hardships.
Well, they know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out
Others understand the deep emotional pain of heartbreak, empathizing with the feeling of devastation.
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
Continued feelings of being down and defeated since the woman's departure.
Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind
Repetition of feeling lost and disconnected at a bar, mirroring the earlier state.
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind
Reiteration of feeling tense and stressed without any relief in sight.
Well, that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about
The music still reflects the emotional pain as experienced earlier.
And since my woman left, I'm down and out
Continued feeling of being down and defeated since the woman's departure.
Since my woman left, since my woman left
Repetition emphasizing the impact and ongoing sense of loss since the woman left.
Since my woman left, I'm down and out
Reiterating the ongoing state of feeling down and defeated due to the woman's departure.
