Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Verse 1] I sit here almost every night, Beneath that glowing neon light. The barkeep here knows me by name, And asks me if I'll have the same. He sets the whiskey on the bar, Then takes the keys to my new car. He knows I'm gonna be here late, And it damn sure ain't to celebrate. [Chorus] I had a love I thought was true, And now I don't know what to do. I let her walk right out my door, And she ain't comin' back no more. So if you see me sittin' here, Then you'd be wise to just steer clear, 'Cause winding up on barroom stools, Is the only fate for fools. [Verse 2] There's lots of couples all around, I'm here alone and feelin' down. They hold hands in the corner there, But my girl's gone, so I don't care. I think about the life we planned, And how it slipped right through my hands. If she came walkin' in tonight, I'd change my life to make things right. [Chorus] I had a love I thought was true, And now I don't know what to do. I let her walk right out my door, And she ain't comin' back no more. So if you see me sittin' here, Then you'd be wise to just steer clear, 'Cause winding up on barroom stools, Is the only fate for fools. [Bridge] Some lessons come a bit too late, And some mistakes decide your fate. I'd gladly trade every drink I've downed, If she would just come back around. [Chorus] I had a love I thought was true, And now I don't know what to do. I let her walk right out my door, And she ain't comin' back no more. So if you see me sittin' here, Then you'd be wise to just steer clear, 'Cause winding up on barroom stools, Is the only fate for fools. [Outro]
