Verse;
Every afternoon at five o'clock
I forget all about you
There ain't nothin bout this honky tonk
To remind me we're through
And I can put off going back
To that old empty house you swore you'd never leave
And from the loneliness you handed me
I can get a brief reprieve
Chorus;
From here until closing time, it won't matter you're gone
1.I can fill up my emptiness, maybe make it on my own
2.Your memory won't break my heart, I can make it on my own
From now till they lock the doors
Put the chairs up and sweep the floors
You won't even cross my mind
From here until closing time
Verse;
Well the good ole days are good and gone
Since you left without me
If I could figure out where we went wrong
Maybe I'd be free
From these ties that bind my foolish heart
That just won't let me start my life again
And then I wouldn't need this lonesome bar
Where I come to pretend
Chorus;
Every afternoon at five o'clock
I forget all about you
