Damn Darlin’

It was the night before Christmas 1995

You broke her poor heart and she shattered your pride

Outside that little honky tonk in Nashville, Tennessee

Neon never looked so dim to me

So you went back to your barstool, reopened your tab

The barkeep came by and asked why you looked so sad

Well, you said it was nothin, but you knew that was a lie

Tried your best not to break down and cry

Then you said damn, darlin

Oh, why’d you have to leave me alone in this bar

With no damn darlin

Oh, Nashville you’ve broken my heart

Then the jukebox started playing for the first time all night

Since the band loaded out and they said their goodbyes

And the first song they played was one she loved to hear

So you listened as you finished your beer

And then that tear that Hank talked about, fell right on in

Out of your eye and over the rim

Of that glass that just became your only true friend

Hearts break harder, at the old Exit/In

And you said damn, darlin

Well, why’d you have to leave me alone in this bar

With no damn darlin

Oh, Nashville you’ve broken my heart

Oh, Nashville you’ve broken my heart

Oh, Nashville you’ve broken my heart

Oh, you have broken my, my heart
