Changing Bars

(album: Highway Desperado - 2023)

Another corner jukebox
Spinning twenty-bucks worth of songs
Another almost burned-out neon sign
To look at all night long
Yeah, I've tried the same ol' places
The midnight highs, covered all the bases
You can stare at those rocks in that glass
Turn 'em up but you can't turn it back

'Cause the whiskey's still gonna talk the same
By three drinks in, you're gonna know her name
You can hang around a brand-new crowd
To kill some time
Yeah, you can find
A hole in the wall in any ol' town
But last call still gonna shut you down
Nah, you ain't changing her mind or changing her heart
You're just changing bars
Changing smoke
Changing bar stools, Crown and Coke
Yeah, "goodbye" still means "gone"
No matter where you are
You're just changing bars

You ain't gonna be there long before the new wears off
You're gonna find out fast that just another tab won't bring back what you lost
You gonna learn that moving ain't moving on

'Cause the whiskey's still gonna talk the same
By three drinks in, you're gonna know her name
You can hang around a brand-new crowd
To kill some time
Yeah, you can find
A hole in the wall in any ol' town
But last call still gonna shut you down
Nah, you ain't changing her mind or changing her heart
Mm, you're just changing bars

Yeah, you're just changing bars, changing smoke
But there ain't nowhere she can't go

'Cause the whiskey's still gonna talk the same
By three drinks in, you're gonna know her name
You can hang around a brand-new crowd
To kill some time
Yeah, you can find
A hole in the wall in any ol' town
But last call still gonna shut you down
Nah, you ain't changing her mind or changing her heart
Yeah, "goodbye" still means "gone"
No matter where you are
Just changing bars
Changing smoke
Changing bar stools, Crown and Coke
Yeah, you're just changing bars
Yeah, "goodbye" still means "gone"
No matter where you are
Mm, you're just changing bars
