Dark Bars Lyrics by Miranda Lambert

Wildcard

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm here for the habit
Complimentary matches
The pretty bartenders
The smoke and the mirrors
The unhappy hours
The bitters and sours
Where nobody knows me
Where I can be lonely

[Chorus]
I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar

[Verse 2]
I can be wreckless
I can be desperate
An invisible stranger
Secrets never in danger
And it ain't nothin' fancy
'Cause the manager, Nancy
She's an old jukebox junkie
She plays nothin' but country

[Chorus]
I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard, ooh

[Chorus]
No, I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar
