I won't stay home and cry tonight like all the nights before I've just learned that I don't really need you anymore I found a little place downtown where guys like me can go And they've got bright lights and country music
Chorus: Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass Soon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a past And when everybody asks me what helped me forget so fast I'll say bright lights and country music
A table by the bandstand a bottle filled with wine Honky tonks were made for men with women on their minds Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine Quite like bright lights and country music
