Bless His Heart

I had a dumb little brother, dumb as he could be

Never understood why he couldn't climb up on a tree

Tryin' to buy more liquor was his only thorn

Ask for any ID, brother said, "'Bout what?"

Bless his heart, bless his heart today

"Bless his heart," that's a-what we say

You can say what you want about whoever you want

Bless his heart today

She was driving with her cell phone, talkin' to her mom

Cut off two policemen tryin' to put makeup on

Everybody swearin', stompin' brakes, and honkin' horns

Never gave a damn since the day she was born

Bless her heart, get out of her way

Bless her heart, pull over and pray

Poor thing can't afford to be a-runnin' late

Bless her heart today

It's a Southern thing

For the potato queens

It's a Southern thing

We know we shouldn't say it, but we can't help ourselves

If you must say somethin' good, well, go and sit by yourself

Bless his heart

It's a Southern thing (Southern thing)

For the potato queens

It's a Southern thing (Southern thing)

We know we shouldn't say it, but we can't help ourselves

If you must say somethin' good, well, go and sit by yourself

Had a hillbilly band for 18 years

We had a lot of fun, and we cried a few tears

Got a new band, play some shows on our own

I heard a lady say on her way home

She said, "Bless his heart, he used to good pay

Bless his heart, but, honey, please don't say

He used to be so young, and now he's old and in a way

Bless his heart today"

Yeah, bless his heart, bless his heart today

Bless his heart, that's a-what we say

You can say what you want about whoever you want

Bless his heart today

And you can say what you want about whoever you want

If you say, "Bless his heart today"
