Misery Tavern

There¡¯s candles at each table
Smoke fills the cracks
Honey, I stopped in to drink
Tomorrow I'll be back
I'll bet she thinks the world of me
She¡¯s walking out the door
Misery Tavern, it¡¯s the only place I know
I tried to get along somehow
Start loving someone new
Each time I make a start
I¡¯m right back in that room
I'll sober up long enough to find my way back in
Misery Tavern, it¡¯s the only place I know
Misery Tavern, tonight I'll go down slow
Misery Tavern, it¡¯s the only place I know
(Verse 1)
Misery Tavern, tonight I'll go down slow
Misery Tavern, it¡¯s the only place I know
