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 lookin' for a cure,
I've seen enough of my friends in the depths of the godsick 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 'til 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 built ourselves a fire
We built ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

By the rolling river is exactly where I was
There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love
To be lonely is a habit like smoking 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

You rock, Bill! I haven't logged into RP in a while, so thanks for the reminder. Keep doing your thing! I can't imagine living without Radio Paradise. Cheers from Florida!

I'm not usually a "plagiarism in music" kind of guy, but the hook is a straight rip of Kenny Rogers.

Cant figure the haters on this. Jenny’s voice and the chorus really bring it home to me. The worldweariness of the lyric expressed vocally; just amazing. I guess everyone’s entitled to their opinion…even if they’re wrong. As Paul Simon says- one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.

The poetry here is worthy of being called 'poor man's Dylan.
The voice and melody is at least a full level above and beyond Dylan.  
But the comments and avg score are ... brazenly poor for the quality of the song. Surely this couldn't have anything to do with the fact that the artist is a woman .. would it?

This is exceptionally well recorded.  The vocals and guitar have great presence.

This is the first time I've heard this on Radio Paradise. It's one of my favorite songs of all time, but apparently it has a long history on RP of so-so reviews! Oh well, that's the beauty of music, hitting each of differently. Would give this one an 11 if I could.

Yeah, they're not especially profound, but that is the chorus you quoted; you could take the choruses from hundreds of celebrated and/or legendary songs out of context and denigrate them.  Did you read any of the other lyrics?  Surely, it's not Marcel Proust, but his records were kind of tiresome anyhow, especially that "experimental" stuff he did with Mungo Jerry.

Hey, I had 19 years of bad love. I woke up and moved on. Best thing I ever did. It wasn't so gutsy for me to throw that out there. Don't give her so much credit. Plenty of songwriters out there leaving her in the dust.

 Here is an alternate interpretation then, since you ask. The term ''acid tongue'' is used to describe someone who is verbally nasty.
So she could have gone down South and acted spitefully with various people, but eventually grew out of that dead-end behavior.
