As past times go I guess I've seen some good
|
It's not always the best ones come and stay
|
There's a crowd that thinks there is one, and it should
|
'Cause they always seem to spend theirs the some old way.
|
|
And they call it winding down
|
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
|
Notes on napkins and business cards
|
Describe the days events and go on home.
|
|
And it's likely they won't drown
|
The price goes up and one more round
|
They close up all the bars downtown
|
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song.
|
|
It seems like the same ole motions every night
|
He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back
|
And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight
|
Relieve the tensions and hope they're on the right track.
|
|
And they call it winding down
|
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
|
Notes on napkins and business cards
|
Describe the days events and go on home.
|
|
And it's likely they won't drown
|
The price goes up and one more round
|
They close up all the bars downtown
|
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song.
|
|
Honky tonk heroes are turn the page
|
And the books are closed tonight
|
'Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up
|
So they'll go home feeling right.
|
|
You gotta leave'em up
|
So they'll go home feeling right...
