Outside that little honky tonk in Nashville, Tennessee

Neon never looked so dim to me

So you went back to your barstool, reopened your tab

The barkeep came by and asked why you looked so sad

Tried your best not to break down and cry

Then you said daaamn, darlin'

Then the jukebox started playing for the first time all night

Since the band loaded out and they said their goodbyes

And the first song they played was one she loved to hear

So you listened as you finished your beer

And then that tear that Hank talked about, fell right on in

Out of your eye and over the rim
D

Of that glass that just became your only true friend

Hearts break harder, at the old Exit/In
