Honky Tonk Heroes

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

Where does it go the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables a hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all of my hard earned pay
Piano roll blues danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For loveable losers and noaccount boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me hey hey

Where does it go the good Lord only knows...
[ instrumental ]
Where do it goes the good Lord only knows...
