From the table to the jukebox is just a few short steps
Where a dollar will buy a sad song and a few strong drinks to help
Them ol’ lonely hearts and honky tonks serachin’ for happiness
Tryin’ to find what they want and settlin’ for what they get
From the promise of forever to the waving of goodbye
To many hearts are broken, cause too many lips have lied
To those lonely hearts, and honky tonks, searchin’ for happiness
Tryin’ to find what they want and settlin’ for what they get
So step right up, and wish me luck and play that song again
The one about a loser who just can’t seem to win
And all those lonely hearts and honky tonks searchin’ for happiness
Tryin’ to find what they want and settlin’ for what they get
