lyrics

Servin' drinks
A lady winks
And all the boys who cleaned up tonight
They are wondering
What she thinks

I see you staring a whole through an empty glass
Scorned by lovers past
And you wonder how long this pain you feel
Is gonna last

A salesman in a cheap suit
A one-eyed prostitute
And all the hypocrites who come spend their money here
To avoid giving it to the poor and the destitute

Young lady you look middle classed
Still livin' in your past
And you wish that your life wouldn't go by your eyes
Quite so fast

Calluses and scars
Broken hearts
In the honky tonks and bars
I've seen it all
And when the mighty fall
I'll be listening to their tales
In dim light
So trust me when I say
That you look like you need
Somebody to keep you warm tonight

The paint by number savant
And the debutantes
And all these poor drunkards they're too inebriated
To understand, or know what they want

So when I see you drinking for two
I can't help but wonder if you're ready for that somebody new

Calluses and scars
Broken hearts
In the honky tonics in bars
I've seen it all
And when the mighty fall
I'll be listening to their tales
In dim light
So trust me when I say
That you look like you need
Someone to keep you warm tonight
