Somewhere down in trouble town.
There’s a place where I can go.
Where I can drink, and have a think.
Where whiskey rails are cheap, and yonder window light.
Reveals blue smoke. Swirls about.
May be alone, at least I’m out...
Another high life for me.
Hank’s playing on the stereo.
That neon’s pretty.
Lighting up that back window.
Cause I can put em’ down.
If I’m really aiming to.
Buy another round.
If there’s nothing else to do.
Listen to the sound of Honky Tonk and classic Who.
Look out that window there, and see my motorbike.
On the street alone. She’s wet and cold.
I pull my jacket on. Sunglasses to face.
And walk outside. For a lonely ride.
