  • I won't lie, it hurts like hell
    So I'm doing shots, just tryin' to deal
    With all this pain, she left me with
    So I'm gettin' gone, so I can get

    Blacked out, like Elvis in 1968
    Like Johnny Cash any given day
    Like a Mach 1 Fastback Mustang
    Blacked out, like the clouds hanging over this heart of mine
    These Ray Bans covering up my eyes
    Not a shadow of a doubt, blacked out

    Her goodbye rattles around
    Just like a ghost in this house
    That's why I drink, to drown it out
    It's the only way I know to let her go for a little while

    Blacked out, like Elvis in 1968
    Like Johnny Cash any given day
    Like a Mach 1 Fastback Mustang
    Blacked out, like the clouds hanging over this heart of mine
    These Ray Bans covering up my eyes
    Not a shadow of a doubt, blacked out

    Blacked out, like that little old bottle of jack
    The old guitar Emmylou has
    Like the coal at the bottom of an old mine shaft
    Blacked out, like the clouds hanging over this heart of mine
    The Ray Bans covering up my eyes
    Not a shadow of a doubt, blacked out
    No there's not a shadow of a doubt

  • Ron from ArizonaThe first verse of the chorus after he says “Blacked out” should be “Like Elvis in 1968”
    He wore all black on his comeback tv show in 1968
