The lights are down low and so am I

I drink not to think and I hate to go home

Home’s where the hurt is my sweet love is gone

Gone like a leaf in a dust of wind

Gone like a robin when winter sets in

Gone is my love since my bird has flown

Home’s where the hurt is my sweet love is gone

Gone like a leaf in a dust of wind

Gone like a robin when winter sets in

Gone is my love since my bird has flown

Home’s where the hurt is my sweet love is gone

Cause one’s too much and twelve’s not enough

She knows how it messes up my thinking

How it makes me look for someone else to love

I get honky tonk amnesia

I forget where all my love belongs

I get honky tonk amnesia

And sometimes it lasts all night long

She’ll accept my story without question

About the overtime I’m putting in

Till someone calls she’ll tell them that I’m resting

While I wonder what I’ve done and where I’ve been

I get honky tonk amnesia

I forget where all my love belongs

I get honky tonk amnesia

And sometimes it lasts all night long

And sometimes it lasts all night long
