G Am
As past times go I guess I've seen some good

It's not always the best ones come and stay
C G
There's a crowd that thinks there is one
Am
And it should
F G C
Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way
Chorus:
D
And they call it winding down
G F
The six to ten crowd, smoky bars
C F
Notes on napkins and business cards
C G C
Describe the days events and go on home
D
And it's likely they won't drown
G F
The price goes up and one more round
C F
They close up all the bars downtown
C G C
As the singer plays one last rip roaring song
G Am
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
F G C
Relive the tensions and hope they're on the right track

Honky tonk heroes are turn the page

And the books are closed tonight

Cause everybody knows you gottta leave'em up
G C

You gotta leave'em up so they'll go home
C
Feeling right
