In the songs I grew up with about the lonely and broken hearted There was a common thread they had, an easy fix They all had a place to go where they didn’t feel alone The only problem is for me that don’t exist There ain’t no flashin’ neon sign invitin’ me inside No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night No Hank Williams jukebox songs, in this town they got it wrong And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear But there ain’t no honky tonks around here This ain’t that kinda one-horse town, the only bar we got around Plays a never-ending string of Top 40 hits It’s the same crowd every Friday, so it’s best to stay away ‘Cause when your heart’s in two you know that you’ll run into the one who broke it There ain’t no flashin’ neon sign invitin’ me inside No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night No Hank Williams jukebox songs, in this town they got it wrong And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear But there ain’t no honky tonks around here I can put a record on at home and pour a drink to drown my blues But that ain’t what Haggard would do There ain’t no flashin’ neon sign invitin’ me inside No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night No Hank Williams jukebox songs, in this town they got it wrong And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear But there ain’t no honky tonks around here No there ain’t no honky tonks around here

As a kid, I was that girl who wrote songs about anything and everything. As an adult, I'm still that same girl. All I've added is a little twang.
