"Honky Tonk Heroes" lyrics

"Honky Tonk Heroes"

Low down leavin' sun
I done did everything that needs done
Woe is me, why can't I see
I'd best be leavin' well enough alone?
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
Keep a-hauntin' me in memories
There's one in every crowd for cryin' out loud
Why was it always turnin' out to be me?

And where does it go?
The good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables
A-hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues
I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers
And no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Hey, hey

And where does it go?
The good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables
A-hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues
I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers
And no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Said, "Where does it go?"
The good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables
A-hawkin' them tables
Most generally blowin' all my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues
I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For lovable losers
And no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
