Watchin' the neon flicker,
Familier smell of liquor in the air
It's late an' no-one knows my name or face
Think I've found the perfect place to disappear

Me an' Freddy Fender, the bartender,
The last teardrop falls on the couple on the floor
Hearts that can't recover
We understand each other behind those swingin' doors

I just need some time to think,
Somethin' strong to drink
A moment to recall
With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works
Sometimes it don't at all
But at least I'm slowin' down the fall

This is my chair an' table,
Sometimes I'm even able to control my life
Yeah, now an' then I forget the shape I'm in,
But it all begins again tomorrow night,

When I'll need some time to think,
Somethin' strong to drink
A moment to recall
With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works
Sometimes it don't at all
But at least I'm slowin' down the fall

I just need some time to think,
Somethin' strong to drink
A moment to recall
With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works
Sometimes it don't at all
But at least I'm slowin' down the fall
At least I'm slowin' down the fall
