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 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, damn darlin' Oh, Nashville, you've broken my heart Then the jukebox started playin' 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
