[Verse 1]

I'm here for the habit

Complimentary matches

The pretty bartenders

The smoke and the mirrors

The unhappy hours

The bitters and sours

Where nobody knows me

Where I can be lonely

[Chorus]

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard

In a dark bar

[Verse 2]

I can be wreckless

I can be desperate

An invisible stranger

Secrets never in danger

And it ain't nothin' fancy

'Cause the manager, Nancy

She's an old jukebox junkie

She plays nothin' but country

[Chorus]

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard, ooh

[Chorus]

No, I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills

But I'm still hanging out in dark bars

On a bar stool for the cheap thrills

Watchin' drunks all drown with no lifeguard

'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts

Neon truth can hit real hard

In a dark bar
