Steel Guitars & Broken Hearts

Hello there my old friends

Swore I’d never be back here again

But my baby found another man

So where else would I be, but where those

Steel guitars and broken hearts

Are played all night long

For they pour lonely by the double

To an old Keith Whitley song

The lights are dim

And drunken promises are all believed

Its steel guitars and broken hearts for me

It’s funny how things never change

Same story just different names

The tear drops fall, the jukebox sings

And everything I need right where those

Steel guitars and broken hearts

Are playing all night long

For they pour lonely by the double

To a George and Tammy song

The lights are dim

And drunken promises are all believed

Its steel guitars and broken hearts for me

You’d think after all these years

This honky tonk would be cliche

But someones cheatin, someones leavin

Someones hurting every day

That’s why those

Steel guitars and broken hearts

Are playing all night long

For they pour lonely by the double

To another Haggard song

The lights are dim

And drunken promises are all believed

Its steel guitars and broken hearts

Come on in and play your part

It’s steel guitars and broken hearts for me
