Dark Bars

I'm here for the habit

Complementary matches

The pretty bartenders

The smoke and the mirrors

The unhappy hour

The bitters and sours

Where nobody knows me

Where I can be lonely

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watching drunks all drown with no lifeguard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard

In a dark bar

I can be reckless

I can be desperate

An invisible stranger

Secrets never in danger

And it ain't nothin' fancy

'Cause the manager, Nancy

She's an old jukebox junkie

She plays nothing but country

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watching drunks all drown with no life guard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard

Ooh

No, I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watching drunks all drown with no lifeguard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard

In a dark bar
