Australian for Broken Heart

Over here, we don’t have honky-tonk barrooms
We only have the humble hotel
We can find a million ways to drown sorrow
Drunken lies to tell
Over here, we don’t have the mighty Mississippi
Rollin' on down in New Orleans
But we can fill an ocean with beer-stained tears
And a river to wash away dreams
When a man gets lonely, he makes drinkin' an art
That’s Australian for broken heart
Over here, we don’t have the Grand Old Opry
We’v got our own opera house too
Wher any night you can hear the sound of one heart breakin'
And you know that heart belongs to you
When a a woman’s cryin' and she’s falling apart
That’s Australian for broken heart
Over here, we don’t have a mortgage on heartache
Everybody gets their share
And it’s wrong for a woman to be afraid of lovin'
'Cause a man’s too cool to care
When a a woman’s crying and she’s falling apart
That’s Australian for broken heart
And when a man gets lonely, makes drinkin' an art
That’s Australian for broken heart
That’s Australian for broken heart
