Damn Darlin'

It was the night before Christmas, 1995
You broke her poor heart and she shattered your pride
Outside that little honky-tonk in Nashville, Tennessee
Neon never looked so dim to me

So you went back to your barstool, reopened your tab
Barkeep came by and asked why you looked so sad
Well you said it was nothin', but you knew that was a lie
Tried your best not to break down and cry

Then you said damn, darlin'
Oh, why'd you have to leave me alone in this bar?
With no damn, damn darlin'
Oh, Nashville, you've broken my heart

Then the jukebox started playin' for the first time all night
Since the band loaded out and they said their goodbyes
And the first song they played was one she loved to hear
So you listened as you finished your beer

And then that tear that Hank talked about, fell right on in
Out of your eye and over the rim
Of that glass that just became your only true friend
Hearts break harder at the old "Exit-In"

And you said damn, darlin'
Well, why'd you have to leave me alone in this bar?
With no damn darlin'
Oh, Nashville, you've broken my heart

Oh, Nashville, you've broken my heart
Oh, Nashville, you've broken my heart
Oh, you have broken my, my heart
