lyrics

Heartbreak in Tennessee


Verse 1:
In a country bar down in Tennessee,
Where the whiskey's warm and the lights are low,
There's a man at the bar with a Dixie cup,
Trying to drown the pain he can't let go.

He left his heart on a dirt road trail,
In a hometown he can't return to now,
His boots are heavy, but his soul is light,
The echoes of the past still drag him down.

Chorus:
But tonight he's staying 'til the break of dawn,
Lost in the tunes of a country song,
With a pickup truck waiting in the parking lot,
He's got his regrets, but he's still got a shot.

Verse 2:
His heartache lingers in the smoky air,
As the band plays on, his mind's elsewhere,
Dreams of what could've been haunt his mind,
But the bottle in his hand helps him unwind.

He took a wrong turn on the backroads home,
Now he's walking down a path unknown,
But the bar feels like a place to heal,
To find himself and what is real.

Chorus:
But tonight he's staying 'til the break of dawn,
Lost in the tunes of a country song,
With a pickup truck waiting in the parking lot,
He's got his regrets, but he's still got a shot.

Bridge:
The neon lights, they shine so bright,
A reminder of the dreams he might ignite,
But the whiskey burns like a memory,
Filling his soul with bittersweet serenity.

Chorus:
But tonight he's staying 'til the break of dawn,
Lost in the tunes of a country song,
With a pickup truck waiting in the parking lot,
He's got his regrets, but he's still got a shot.

Outro:
In a country bar down in Tennessee,
Where the whiskey flows and the heart is free,
He's facing his past with every sip,
Finding hope in every Dixie cup.
