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

Barkeep came by and asked why you looked so sad

Well you said it was nothing but you knew that was a lie

Tried your best not to breakdown and cry

Then you said damn darlin' why'd you have to leave me

Alone in this bar, with no damn, 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 that 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 Inn

Then 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
