First stop of the night a shot and a beer
Second bar down ain't no end near
Stop number three with my old friend Jack
Reminded me that you weren't coming back
I'm tryin hard to forget about you
Three bars down and I'm still feelin' blue
The Honky Tonk highway with Mr. James Beam
Staggered down Broadway feelin' supreme
Apple pie shine from Tootsie's at ten
Tasted so good I did it again
Tryin' hard to forget about you
Six bars down and I'm still feelin' blue
Stood on Jason's rooftop looked at the crowd below
Raised a toast to Dierk's Whiskey Row
Saw the silver coins shine at Nudies Place
But even that couldn't erase
Tryin' hard to forget about you
Nine or ten bars down and I'm still feelin' blue
Down the homestretch Wild Horse Saloon
Ridin' Old Red and I Howled at the Moon
I tried so hard to find my car
So I asked for directions from my corner bar
Tryin' hard to forget about you
Twelve bars down and I'm still feelin' blue
Makin' my way toward the finish line
To find Johnny Cash before I fade to black
I saw a cowboy and asked for a ride
So I could hold a ranch hand at least for the night
I'm ridin' hard to forget about who
Twelve bars down to forget about you
Tryin' hard to forget about you
Twelve bars down and I'm still feelin' blue
