lyrics

It’s back street bars and honky-tonks
Shattered dreams and broken hearts for me
It’s swingin’ doors and saw dust floors
And she don’t love me anymore
No ‘Dear John’ note was wrote
For me or my misery
So hide the pain and suffering
And drink away her memory

The hardest part ‘bout bein’ here
Ain’t the smoke or cold can beer
And it ain’t the band who sings the songs
We used to dance to all night long
It’s the thought of her tender touch
Her warm embrace I miss so much
But lonely ain’t no way to be
So I drink away her memory

I had a chance to let her know
But my pride wouldn’t let me go to her
‘Cause she’s the one who left me here
To waller in the bourbon and the beer
And if I could you know I would
Be the man I outta be
But there’s too much beer and too much smoke
Too much coke and whiskey

Yea lonely ain’t no way to be
So I drink away her memory
