Well I was of fond of strangers and she forgave my sin

But the nightlife of the local bar made me break her heart again

And the urge grew only stronger, and I broke her heart once more

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door

'Cause if those neon lights could show the way back into her arms

And whiskey neat could kill the pain coming from my heart

If the smoke could cloud my memory, I'd forget what I was drinking for

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door

Now I sit here drinking plenty and thinking on it all

So when I find the answers, I won't have far to crawl

And beg for her to take me back like all those times before

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door

'Cause if those neon lights could show the way back into her arms

And whiskey neat could kill the pain coming from my heart

If the smoke could cloud my memory, I'd forget what I was drinking for

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door

I wish they served second chances at the honky-tonk next door
