paint the town blue

I've tried the going out, running 'round with the party crowd Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak didn't mean anything I've tried the burning it up and the shutting it down Look how that turned out I've done everything But giving in to the pain So tonight I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red But tonight, I'm doing something new I'm gonna paint the town blue I'm gonna paint the town blue Gonna find me a barstool with a silver line and silver smoke Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke Yeah, I've been acting like you're something that I don't want back But hell, this ain't that I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red But tonight, I'm doing something new I'm gonna paint the town blue I'm gonna paint the town blue I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red But tonight, I'm doing something new I'm gonna paint the town blue I'm gonna paint the town blue I'm gonna paint the town blue
