One, two...
The bartender will give my energy
Raise him up steady pourin' on them for me
The bouncer in the back's already wearing back
When the time comes
He'll be ready
In lieu of flowers tip the cover band
Make sure they play a little country
Boy can't survive
If I don't make it through the night
I'll fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor before my eyes close
When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart
I wanna die, I wanna die in a bar
Hey!
Now when you swing on in them swinging doors
Leave that heartache out on the porch
My happy hour don't allow no tears
So drive up and fill your cup
While I fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor before my eyes close
When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart
I wanna die in a bar
Hey!
I wanna die in a bar
Hey!
I'll fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor before my eyes close
When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart
I wanna die, I wanna die in a bar
Hey!
I wanna die in a bar
Yeah!
