Smoky the Bar - Hank Thompson

Smoky The Bar lights dimly glow

It’s good that way 'cause heartaches don’t show

Each hand holds a glass, each glass holds a beer

Jukebox records play mid sorrow and cheer

Lots of them are happy, they laugh and tell their jokes

While lots of them are here because they’re just lonely folks

And then there are others, who’s hearts wear a scar

But you can’t see them crying inside Smoky The Bar

Smoky The Bar lights glowing dim

They hardly notice when someone walks in

Order up your drink to the music that’s loud

You’ll find a friend some where in the crowd

While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale

There’s an old dream to recall or a new one that failed

Should a tear betray your eye, if a memory slips too far

Don’t tell them that you’re crying just say Smoky The Bar

(Interlude)

While the ashes are falling from the smoke that you inhale

There’s an old dream to recall or a new one that failed

Should a tear betray your eye, if a memory slips too far

Don’t tell them that you’re crying just say Smoky The Bar

It’s old Smoky The Bar
