Walked into this dive for two quick shots Neon buzzed same old talk and slots Didn't plan to stay just kill some time Then cheap booze hit and the lights felt fine Private dancers peanuts free Bartender smirks Next round's on me For a second I forget my name But I know damn well it's all the same Back home there's a kid cold soup on the stove TV saints singing love I don't know Two shots down and I feel alive Better here than under nine-to-five Wife's at home rain hits the blinds Same old fight playin' in rewind Two shots down yeah I'm just fine Guess the bar's my church tonight She's waitin' up checkin' my pay Screamin' Where you been same play I lie say Traffic then grab my coat Head back out before I choke That jukebox knows my soul too well Plays sad songs just to ring my bell Bartender nods no need to talk Just pour and watch the ticking clock Every round's confession time Every sip erases line I'm one more ghost in neon light Too broke to quit too drunk to fight Two shots down and I feel alive Better here than under nine-to-five She'll ask again I'll say I tried Then dream of windows open wide Two shots down rain in my eyes Guess the fall's my last goodbye Two shots down rain in my eyes Two shots down rain in my eyes Guess the fall's my last goodbye
