I've heard it said it takes twice the length of an affair for the heart to heal
And if that's the case then I guess in 20 years I'll be sitting in this bar
room still. 'cause you were the one I felt that I was lucky just to have you by
my side. Now it's ten years gone and I'm sittin' all alone with this bottle for
a place to hide.
(chorus)
bar time is 6:30 and you're still on my mind
by 8:15 I'll have had a couple in me
and forgotten you were even mine
by 9:43 I'll be regretting my decisions
and cursing this city of sin
by 10:15 I'll be stinkin' of whiskey
and thinking of you again
Now I've heard it said by many of my friends you were a girl I should leave
alone. They said "all you're gonna get is a pocket full of regrets and a
broken down rotary phone." Now all I've got are those and 15 "I told you
so's" so I guess I'm the one to blame. Sitting on a stool feeling like a
broken fool. A tarnished drunkard with a tarnished name.
(chorus)
