lyrics

G C D
Time’s not the only thing that’s wasted here tonight
Looks to me like whiskey’s winning another fight
Am Bm
We got people with boxes full of unwanted things
C D
Yeah they got boxes full of regrets and diamond rings

Time’s not the only thing that’s wasted here tonight
A bar full of empty souls with no one to hold tight
We got the guy who tells a lie even when the truth sounds better
You can hear him sigh when he recalls her goodbye letter

Cause pain, has gotta go somewhere
Pain you know she don’t fight fair
Em C
Pain, it’s like running out of air
Even if the bottle is an empty prayer

Time’s not the only thing that’s wasted here tonight
Looks to me like whiskey is trying’ to make things right
We got people with lives turned up side down
Sometimes all you can do is order another round

Time’s not the only thing that’s wasted here tonight
A bar full of empty souls with country songs to write
We got the guy trying to get by on booze and happy pills
The longer he stays high the less he thinks about his bills

Cause pain, has gotta go somewhere
Pain you know she don’t fight fair
Pain, it’s like running out of air
Even if the bottle is an empty prayer
