Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Misery Tavern

There's candles at each table

Smoke fills the cracks

Honey, I stopped in to drink

Tomorrow I'll be back

I'll bet she thinks the world of me

She's walking out the door

Misery tavern, it's the only place I know

I tried to get along somehow

Start loving someone new

Each time I make a start

I'm right back in that room

I'll sober up long enough to find my way back in

Misery tavern, it's the only place I know

Misery tavern, tonight I'll go down slow

Misery tavern, it's the only place I know

(verse 1)

Misery tavern, tonight I'll go down slow

Misery tavern, it's the only place I know
