These honky tonks and bright lights Used to thrill me I'd paint the town and stumble in at down But now there's no one listening for my footsteps It's winding down to one more night alone I thought I had her wrapped around my finger I didn't think this bridge would ever burn I always thought she'd take me back But she taught me the cold hard fact When it comes to love I've got a lot to learn It never crossed my mind that she might leave me She did her best to love me till the end If she were here I know I'd treat her better But I won't ever get that chance again
