Well, the jukebox plays a sad, old tune
Neons flicker through the smoky room
I'm sippin' sorrow from a bottle of Jack
Ever since she left, I ain't lookin' back
I see her ghost in every shadowy place
Reflected pain in every stranger's face
Pour another round, bartender, don't be shy
Got enough tears to flood a whole damn sky
I'm drowning out the heartache, shot by shot
Memory of her's the twist I never got
In this sea of empty bottles and regret
Trying to find a way to just forget
She took the dog, the truck, and left me here
In this honky-tonk drowning all my fears
The band's playing loud, but that's alright
I don't need silence to cry tonight
Whiskey whispers her name in my ear
The more I drink, the less she feels near
Broken hearts and barstools go hand in hand
Guess I ain't the one she could understand
I'm drowning out the heartache, shot by shot
Memory of her's the twist I never got
In this sea of empty bottles and regret
Trying to find a way to just forget
