Winding Down

As past times go I guess I've seen some good It's not always the best ones come and stay There's a crowd that thinks there is one, and it should 'Cause they always seem to spend theirs the some old way. And they call it winding down The six to ten crowd, smoky bars Notes on napkins and business cards Describe the days events and go on home. And it's likely they won't drown The price goes up and one more round They close up all the bars downtown As the singer plays one last rip roaring song. It seems like the same ole motions every night He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back And I'll play out all the emotions I can't fight Relieve the tensions and hope they're on the right track. And they call it winding down The six to ten crowd, smoky bars Notes on napkins and business cards Describe the days events and go on home. And it's likely they won't drown The price goes up and one more round They close up all the bars downtown As the singer plays one last rip roaring song. Honky tonk heroes are turn the page And the books are closed tonight 'Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up So they'll go home feeling right. You gotta leave'em up So they'll go home feeling right...
