The doctor told me I'd get better in time
The pains in my chest won't drive me out of my mind
A little patience and I'll get over this one
Now even he would admit his diagnosis was wrong.

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long.

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got.

(Ah, twin Texas fiddles.)

I'll need a bypass of anything I might feel
A big glass of pain killer; it might even seem like I'm here
But I won't bother tellin' my HMO
'Cause everytime I was dyin', they kept letting me go.

An' here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long.

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got.

'Cause here come those heartaches again...
