Smoky the Bar

Smokey the bar lights dimly low

It's good that way cause heartaches don't show

Each hand holds a glass each glass holds a beer

Jukebox records play amid sorrow and cheer

Lots of them are happy they laugh and tell their jokes

While lots of them are here because they're just lonely folks

And then there are others whose hearts wear a scar

But you can't see them crying it's old Smokey the bar

Smokey the bar lights glowing dim

They hardly notice when someone walks in

Order up your drink to the music that's loud

You'll find a friend somewhere in the crowd

While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale

There's an old dream to recall or a new one that failed

Should a tear betray your eye if memory slips to far

Don't tell them that you're crying just say Smokey the bar

While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale

There's an old dream to recall or a new one that failed

Should a tear betray your eye if memory slips to far

Don't tell them that you're crying just say Smokey the bar
