I Hate To Go Searchin’ Them Bars Again

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again

But if I can't have you

That's what I'll do

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

You're just what I had on my mind

And girl, you weren't easy to find

But love, like justice, sometimes can be blind

Well, you can't seem to make up your mind

And I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again

But if I can't have you

That's what I'll do

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

I could get to drinking too much

In search of a soft loving touch

Their smiles are too quick

And the music's too loud

Honey, don't send me back to that crowd

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again

But if I can't have you

That's what I'll do

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again

But if I can't have you

That's what I'll do

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again

But if I can't have you

That's what I'll do

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Pickin' up bruises and scars again (pickin' up bruises and scars again)
