Dive Bar Blues

[Verse] In this dive bar Where the whiskey flows I drown my sorrows In a glass that never knows The tears I've cried The pain inside my soul But I keep on drinking 'cause it's the only way I know Oh In the corner There's a woman with a wicked smile She's the devil in disguise Gonna lead me to denial I stumble over My words all twisted and slurred But I don't care 'cause she's the cure for this damnin' world [Verse 2] The smoke is thick And my vision's hazy The jukebox screaming blues Oh the music's so crazy I drown the noise With another cheap shot of gin But it's just a temporary fix It won't wash away my sins No [Verse] In the neon lights I see shadows of my past The regret and the pain That I thought would never last I raise my glass high To all the mistakes I've made But the memories still haunt me In this dimly lit charade [Verse 2] The whiskey burns As it goes down my throat But it can't numb the ache Of a heart that's broke I stumble through the crowd Lost in a sea of faces But no matter where I go I can't escape these empty spaces [Verse] In this dive bar Where the whiskey flows I drown my sorrows In a glass that never knows The tears I've cried The pain inside my soul But I keep on drinking 'Cause it's the only way I know [Outro]
