High Notes

Ain't a soul around downtown

I found at a corner bar at noon

They ought to padlock that old jukebox

'Cause I can't stop spinnin' Lovesick Blues

I know to you, it ain't nothin' new

Just another fool pullin' up a stool

And I apologize 'cause I realize

That goodbyes are hard to listen to

So, bartender, don't leave me

With my glass half empty

Those old done you wrong

Sing along sure hit home

Since she said we were through

And you shouldn't mix whiskey

With Haggard and Whitley

And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

I know I swore just a couple more, and then, I'd hit the door

It's a quarter after two

I guess you see these old melodies got the best of me

It's hard to face the truth

I'll make it worth your while if I can stay a while

While I finish up what I came here to do

And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

So, bartender, don't leave me

With my glass half empty

Those old done you wrong

Sing along sure hit home

Since she said we were through

And you shouldn't mix whiskey

With ol' Haggard and Whitley

And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

They need a warnin' sign on them 45's

That goodbyes are hard to listen to

Ain't a soul around downtown

I found in a corner bar at noon
