Hour on the Hour

It's another hit about a heartache

Somebody done somebody wrong

All that remains of a memory

Now lives forever in a song

It took a million broken pieces

To fill an empty page with lines

But you find a few to string together

And find a way to make 'em rhyme

And every hour on the hour

It plays on my radio

One thing leads to another

Then another and another one

But I don't mind a steady backbeat

Or a cryin' steel guitar

But you can keep your shot of whiskey

And who wants another broken heart?

These days I drive around in silence

Scared to death to touch the dial

For fear of bringin' back a memory

Damn near every country mile

But every hour on the hour

It plays on my radio

And one thing leads to another

Then another and another one

I know everybody's been there

But I don't need to hear the tale

I've got that devil on my shoulder

The same as anybody else

Some days I need someone to talk to

But I don't need no troubadour

Singin' me a sad reminder

Of someone walkin' out the door

Every hour on the hour

It plays on my radio

And one thing leads to another

Then another and another and another and another one
