I'm here for the habit Complimentary matches The pretty bartenders The smoke and the mirrors The unhappy hours 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 Watchin' 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 wreckless 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 nothin' 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 Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard '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 Watchin' 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
