"paint the town blue" lyrics

I've tried to going out
Running 'round with the party crowd
Yeah, I was acting like heartbreak didn't mean a thing
I've tried to burning it up and the shutting down
Hell, look how that's and out
I've done everything
But give in to the pain
So tonight

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember
Ever since you left
I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue

Gonna find me a barstool with a silver line in silver smoke
Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke
Yeah, I've been acting like you're something that I don't want back
Hell, this ain't back

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember
Ever since you left
I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember
Ever since you left
I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue
