I drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed
Lately they?ve been droppin? like Dominos

All of my favorite waterin? holes are dryin? up
Tell me is it too much
For a man to ask

To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Waterback
With the lights so low
D
And cold drafts will cost you one buck
Enough?s enough.

The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox

Where?s the workin? man gonna go to get tore up
When the last one?s tore down

Somebody Save the neon lights

Everyday another piece of history?s lost

Well it?s enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye
Not knowin? where to go on a Friday night

To get down and get loud

And unwind from a hard day
Listen, we the people got a make a stand
Maybe write a letter to our congressman

Show some support for the drinkin? man

We can?t wait, until it?s too late.
