Songwriter: Luke Laird Eric Church

Producer: Jay Joyce

[Chorus]
Hung over and hard up

[Verse 1]
Broken down and messed up
I never saw your leaving coming' but
I sure felt it when ya left
Memory button stuck on repeat
Mind skipping' like a record machine
Over and over that goodbye scene
Keeps spinning' in my head
It keeps haunting me
And there ain't no maybe about it
The hurt keeps calling me
Come on out we got you surrounded
Yeah the bottle in my hand is loaded and
I ain't afraid to use it tonight

[Chorus]
Hung over and hard up

[Verse 2]
Pain hurts, whiskey's tough
And too much ain't ever enough
To break through your space
Living' in a lost and found
Round and round, up and down
I'm tired of this seesaw, merry-go-round
So merry you can go to hell
All I want to do
Is just get on down the highway
And I'll be there as soon as
I get on out of my way
Yeah the truth is like a hangman's noose
And it's holding' up my heart tonight

[Chorus]
Hung over and hard up

[Verse 3]
I tried it all, well now what?
I've given everything but up
And up's going down the drain
Just when I thought the coast was clear
You're clouding' up my atmosphere
That morning' sun's waiting' there when I wake up
Hung over and hard up

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
