She took the dog and my old six string

Took her cherokee down sycamore street

Didn't use a blinker or tap them brakes

Her pretty middle finger was a goodbye wave

Now that girl's gone

I could break down or saddle up and be strong.

And take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gotta break your heart

Daddy always said rub a little dirt on it

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl.

I could throw a pity party with the man in the mirror

But that ain't never got no man nowhere

Or throw on the boots and my pearl snap shirt

I could be a boy about missing her or I could.

Take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gotta break your heart

Daddy always said rub a little dirt on it

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl.

I could cry in my cup

Or find a neon light and drink 'em on down and suck it on up.

And take it like a man with a little hurt on him

Heartbreak ain't gotta break your heart

Daddy always said rub a little dirt on it

Wash it on down downtown at the bar

Take the jukebox for a ride, put her goodbye on ice

Stay here and drink all night like merle

Take it like a man that just lost his girl.

Yeah, take it like a man

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

That just lost his girl

Bye-bye...
