[V1] I traded barstools and closing times, for dinners home for two. For long romantic evenings, making love to favorite tunes For the comfort of a body layin' next to me in bed. And the thoughts of sweet forevers, that started playing in my head Then come them second thoughts and routines of ordinary days No matter how hard I try, I never make it past that stage. [PRECHORUS] So here I sit again, an evening with my friends, Jim, Johnny, Mr Daniels, that's good ol’ Jack! Hey fellas. Did you miss me? As you can see, once again, I made it back! [CH1] So whiskey, did you miss me? I fell all in love, then fell back out again, and returned to my same hist-ree. With my most enduring friends. So here’s a toast to you Johnny Black, You too! Mister coke and Jack. I may run off from time to time, But y’all know that I''ll always be back. [V2] There’s no forevers, just tonights, maybe I’ll catch a stranger's eyes. And we’ll wake up in the morning to share a bar-fly’s sunrise I gave up on the internet, what you see’s not always what you get. Back here in my favorite bar, I like my chances better, by far. Oh my! Just now walkin by, I believe I caught a lingering eye. The scent of love is in the air, not quite yet, but give me time. George sung about a chair, and I have one right beside me hare So I’ll sit here alone again, me and my three best friends, when the right one comes along, I’ll fall in love till dawn! [CH2] So whiskey, did you miss me? I fell all in love, then fell back out again, and returned to my same hist-ree. With my most enduring friends. So here’s a toast to you, Johnny Black, You too! Mister coke and Jack. I may run off from time to time, But y’all know that I''ll always be back. [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO] [CH3] So whiskey, did you miss me? I fell all in love, then fell back out again, and returned to my same hist-ree. With my most enduring friends. So here’s a toast to you Johnny Black, You too! Mister coke and Jack. I may run off from time to time, But y’all know that I''ll always be back.
