A Grain of Salt Lyrics by David Ball

Play

1999

You caged the wild man that raged inside me
Took a hell bent cowboy made his hands sure and steady
But today when you walked out what was I gonna do
But reach for the closest thing I could hold on to
Yeah I'm taking this heartache with a grain of salt
A little lime and tequila as the teardrops fall
And I'm gonna sit here until I chase every memory off
I'm taking this heartache with a grain of salt
[ fiddle ]
Sittin' in the shadows as the sun goes down
A little loose change will buy another round
Oh come tomorrow morning there'll be a high price to pay
Oh but that's all right because tonight I ain't feeling no pain
Yeah I'm taking this heartache...
Yeah I'm gonna sit here until I chase every memory off
Taking this heartache with a grain of salt
