Fixer Upper (Marvin Shelton)

Verse 1
Why would I ever stop drinking whiskey now
It's been flowing pretty good ever since she left town
I might not have done everything right
That's probably why I'm sitting here alone tonight
Go ahead, sit in  that stool if you want to listen to a fool

Chorus
'Cause I'm just a  boat on the water that doesn't have a rudder
 A hand-me-down from one lover to another
They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Well, I'm tougher than a two-dollar steak you had for supper
I'm a plain old broken-hearted fixer-upper

Verse
I guess I ought to thank you for your advice
But I've heard it all before at least once or twice
Oh maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're right
Somebody new could come along tonight
They'll sit on that stool and listen to a fool

Chorus
'Cause I'm just a  boat on the water that doesn't have a rudder
 A hand-me-down from one lover to another
They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Well, I'm tougher than a two-dollar steak you had for supper
I'm a plain old broken-hearted fixer-upper

[Instrumental]

bridge
maybe I'm wrong, I hope you're right
Somebody new could come along tonight
They'll sit on that stool, a fool listening to a fool

Chorus
'Cause I'm just a  boat on the water that doesn't have a rudder
 A hand-me-down from one lover to another
They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Well, I'm tougher than a two-dollar steak you had for supper
I'm a plain old broken-hearted fixer-upper


I'm just a plain old broken-hearted fixer-upper
Without a lover
