AFTER THREE

GOOD YEARS TOGETHER

WE HAD OUR

FIRST BIG FIGHT

SO SHE WENT

TO HER MOTHER'S

AND I WENT

FOR A DRIVE

DOWN AN OLD

FAMILIAR HIGHWAY

JUST A FEW MILES

OUT OF TOWN

TO THAT RUN DOWN

ONE ROOM TAVERN

THAT USED TO BE MY

STOMPING GROUND

WELL I PULLED

IN THE DRIVEWAY

YOU KNOW IT ALL STILL

LOOKED THE SAME

AND I COULDN'T WAIT

TO DOWN A FEW

AND HEAR THAT

JUKEBOX RING

BUT AS I WALKED IN

THROUGH THE DOORWAY

WELL THERE STOOD

SOME KIND OF MAITRE D'

WELL HE LOOKED ME UP

AND HE LOOKED

ME DOWN SAID

MAY I HELP YOU PLEASE

AND I SAID

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH

THOSE SWINGIN' DOORS

WHERE'S THE SAWDUST

ON THE FLOOR

WHY'S EVERYBODY

WEARIN' SUITS AND TIES

FROM WHERE I STAND

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES

AND WHOSE IDEA

WAS IT

TO HANG THESE FERNS

THIS BRAND NEW BAR

DON'T HAVE A

SINGLE BURN

I GUESS I'M SOMEWHERE

THAT I DON'T BELONG

I NEED A JUKEBOX

WITH A COUNTRY SONG

WHEN I LOOKED BACK

TO THE CORNER

WHERE THE JUKEBOX

ONCE STOOD PROUD

SOME CLOWN

WAS PLAYIN' RECORDS

TOO FAST TOO LONG

AND TOO LOUD

AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN

A BIG MISTAKE

TO TRY AND SPEAK

MY MIND

SO AS THEY WERE

ASKIN' ME TO LEAVE

I CRIED OUT

ONE MORE TIME

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH

THOSE SWINGIN' DOORS

WHERE'S THE SAWDUST

ON THE FLOOR

WHY'S EVERYBODY

WEARIN' SUITS AND TIES

FROM WHERE I STAND

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES

AND WHOSE IDEA

WAS IT

TO HANG THESE FERNS

THIS BRAND NEW BAR

DON'T HAVE A

SINGLE BURN

I GUESS I'M SOMEWHERE

THAT I DON'T BELONG

I NEED A JUKEBOX

WITH A COUNTRY SONG

I GUESS I DON'T BELONG

WITHOUT A JUKEBOX

AND A COUNTRY SONG
