Where Heartache Hangs Around - Jon Langston

The same old barkeep, same old stool

Same old song, I’m the same old fool

That keeps coming here

Thinking you’ll just disappear

If I’m gonna be down, I’m gonna be down here

Shoot some pool with the boys, loser buys the beer

I’m getting pretty good

I come here a little more than I should

Just when I think I’m feeling right

I’m on my feet again

I start checking the door

Hope you don’t walk in

Cause it won’t be long

Until my buzz is gone

It’s hit or miss, yeah, you never know

I’ll stay all night until you show

Cause the only good time in this town

Is the same place where heartache hangs around

Damn this place for being too damn small

Plenty of farms and a shortage of bars

But every Friday night

I’m back under that neon light

Just when I think I’m feeling right

I’m on my feet again

I start checking the door

Hope you don’t walk in

Cause it won’t be long

Until my buzz is gone

It’s hit or miss, yeah, you never know

I’ll stay all night until you show

Cause the only good time in this town

Is the same place where heartache hangs around

Maybe one day I’ll find a way out

But for right now pour me another round

Just when I think I’m feeling right

I’m on my feet again

I start checking the door

Hope you don’t walk in

Cause it won’t be long

Until my buzz is gone

It’s hit or miss, yeah, you never know

I’ll stay all night until you show

Cause the only good time in this town

Is the same place where heartache hangs around

Where heartache hangs around
