Honkytonk Fairytale

I thought there might be a genie In the bottom of this bottle But there ain't I learned the hard way Thought I could click these boots together That'd take me back to better weather When I had you and we had everything So I'll just close my eyes Find that sweet escape To where that neon never turns to dawn House band plays our favorite songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartenders know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskey works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls Ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes Ain't no chance I'll have to come back To this heart broke lonely Hell That's my honkytonk fairytale I wish this dusty rug was a magic carpet Take me back to where we started That little bar off of eighteenth avenue Sometimes I swear I hear you in the wind You say you're coming back again But it's only ever in my mind So I close my eyes And chase the light To where that neon never turns to dawn House band plays our favorite songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartenders know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskey works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls Ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes Ain't no chance I'll have to come back To this heart broke lonely Hell That's my honkytonk fairytale If I drink all this bourbon It'll either stop the hurtin' Or I'll get to stay forever there this time Where the neon never turns to dawn House band plays them Whitley songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartenders know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskey works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls Ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes Ain't no chance I'll have to come back To this heart broke lonely Hell That's my honkytonk fairytale Mmm my honkytonk fairytale
