Honkytonks and Heartaches

歌詞

I walked in and sat down, ordered me a drink Tried to wash away the fool I'd been I was drowning my regrets, trying to forget The crazy things, I'd said to you again Sitting there beside me was a gray haired older man Watching as I threw that double down He said, son don't drink so fast, make that whiskey last There's lessons to be learned just look around He said, honky tonks and heartaches Alcohol and bad breaks They'll teach you things That you don't understand A bar's a place to study About love and life and money And this old stool will humble any man It might seem like the bitter end From the outside looking in But it's okay to live And learn the hard way That's the school Of honky tonks and heartaches I told him all about you and all about our fight How everything I said just came out wrong He just sat and listened to my convoluted wisdom I knew, I wasn't fooling him at all He said, son, you're mighty clever, you've got it figured out But your common sense took a backseat to your pride Then all at once it hit me and it wasn't just the whiskey A burning feeling told me he was right He said, honky tonks and heartaches Alcohol and bad breaks They'll teach you things That you don't understand A bar's a place to study About love and life and money And this old stool will humble any man It might seem like the bitter end From the outside looking in But it's okay to live And learn the hard way That's the school Of honky tonks and heartaches A bar's a place to study About love and life and money And this old stool will humble any man It might seem like the bitter end From the outside looking in But it's okay to live And learn the hard way That's the school Of honky tonks and heartaches Sitting there beside me was a gray haired older man Watching as I threw that double down
