verse 1
I hit the town on March 17th.
It's Saint Patty's Day, but I ain't wearing green.
Love is dead and it ain't coming back.
Tonight I'm wearing black.
verse 2
I'm hanging close to all of my friends.
I tell them I'm happy my hearts on the mend.
I'm moving on and I ain't looking back.
Tonight I'm wearing black.
Whoah-hoah, let's raise a glass.
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
And everything's better in black
verse 3
I'm hiding out in the darkest of pubs,
Surviving on shadows and cold, icy mugs
So come on, bartender, don't hold nothing back
Tonight I'm wearing black
Whoah-hoah, let's raise a glass.
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
And everything's better in black
Instrumental
verse 4
She comes here looking, well that?s just too bad
I'll still be hiding out way in the back.
In a dark corner table, but she won?t know that
NC
Whoah-hoah, let's raise a glass.
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
And everything's better in black
Oh, everything's better in black
Tonight I'm wearing black
