Smokey the Bar (Re-Recorded)

Smokey the bar lights dimly low It's good that way cause heartaches don't show Each hand holds a glass each glass holds a beer Jukebox records play amid sorrow and cheer Lots of them are happy they laugh and tell their jokes While lots of them are here because they're just lonely folks And then there are others whose hearts wear a scar But you can't see them crying it's old Smokey the bar Smokey the bar lights glowing dim They hardly notice when someone walks in So order up your drink to the music that's loud You'll find a friend somewhere in the crowd While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale There's an old dream to recall or a new one that failed Should a tear betray your eye if a memory slips to far Don't tell them that you're crying just say Smokey the bar While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale There's an old dream to recall or a new one that failed Should a tear betray your eye if a memory slips to far Don't tell them that you're crying just say Smokey the bar It's ole Smokey the bar
