Hillbilly Blue

(album: At This Moment - 1990)

Well, that old neon sign's like an old friend of mine
Someone I tell my troubles to
It's kinda smokey in here, but it's a right atmosphere
For someone who feels like I do
So pour me another and make it a good one
I don't care if I look like a fool
Oh, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feeling hillbilly blue

Well, the music is loud and I'm not one for crowds
And I didn't come here to dance
There's a girl over there, I caught her in a stare
But I don't feel much like romance
I wouldn't be good company
I'm sure she'd understand if she knew
Maybe some other time, but tonight
I'm feeling hillbilly blue

So ask the band if they'll play an old cheating song
Well, you know the kind where somebody does somebody wrong
I know the whiskey won't end my misery
It's nothing more than a poor substitute
But it helps me unwind when I find
That I'm hillbilly blue

So pour me another and make it a double
I don't care if I look like a fool
Oh, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feeling hillbilly blue
Mm, yeah, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feeling hillbilly blue
