AFTER THREE GOOD
YEARS TOGETHER
WE HAD OUR
FIRST BIG FIGHT
SO SHE WENT TO
HER MOTHER'S
AND I WENT
FOR A DRIVE
DOWN AN OLD
FAMILIAR HIGHWAY
JUST A FEW MILES
OUTTA TOWN
TO THAT RUN-DOWN
ONE-ROOM TAVERN
THAT USED TO BE
MY STOMPIN' GROUND
WELL I PULLED IN
THE DRIVEWAY
YA KNOW IT ALL STILL
LOOKED THE SAME
AND I COULDN'T WAIT
TO DOWN A FEW
AND HEAR THAT
JUKEBOX RING
BUT AS I WALKED IN
THROUGH THE DOORWAY
WELL THERE STOOD
SOME KINDA MAÎTRE D'
WELL HE
LOOKED ME UP
AND HE
LOOKED ME DOWN
AND SAID
MAY I HELP YOU PLEASE
AND I SAID
WHAT'D YA DO
WITH THOSE
SWINGIN' DOORS
WHERE'S THE SAWDUST
ON THE FLOOR
WHY'S EVERYBODY
WEARIN' SUITS
AND TIES
FROM WHERE I STAND
I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY EYES
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
TO HANG THESE FERNS
THIS BRAND-NEW BAR
DON'T HAVE
A SINGLE BURN
I GUESS
I'M SOMEWHERE
THAT I DON'T BELONG
I NEED A JUKEBOX
WITH A COUNTRY SONG
WELL I LOOKED BACK
TO THE CORNER
WHERE THE JUKEBOX
ONCE STOOD PROUD
SOME CLOWN WAS
PLAYIN' RECORDS
A-TOO FAST TOO LONG
AND TOO LOUD
AND IT MUST
HAVE BEEN
A BIG MISTAKE
TO TRY AND SPEAK
MY MIND
SO AS THEY
WERE ASKIN'
ME TO LEAVE
I CRIED OUT
ONE MORE TIME
WHAT'D YA DO
WITH THOSE
SWINGIN' DOORS
WHERE'S THE SAWDUST
ON THE FLOOR
WHY'S EVERYBODY
WEARIN' SUITS
AND TIES
FROM WHERE I STAND
I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY EYES
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
TO HANG THESE FERNS
THIS BRAND-NEW BAR
DON'T HAVE
A SINGLE BURN
I GUESS
I'M SOMEWHERE
THAT I DON'T BELONG
I NEED A JUKEBOX
WITH A COUNTRY SONG
I GUESS
I DON'T BELONG
WITHOUT A JUKEBOX
AND A COUNTRY SONG
