Watchin' the neon flicker   Familiar smell of liquor in the air   It's late an' no one knows my name or face   Think I've found the perfect place to disappear      Me an' Freddy Fender, the bartender   The last teardrop falls on the couple on the floor   Hearts that can't recover   We understand each other behind those swingin' doors      I just need some time to think   Somethin' strong to drink, a moment to recall   With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works   Sometimes it don't at all   But at least I'm slowin' down the fall      This is my chair an' table   Sometimes I'm even able to control my life   Yeah, now an' then I forget the shape I'm in   But it all begins again tomorrow night      When I'll need some time to think   Somethin' strong to drink, a moment to recall   With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works   Sometimes it don't at all   But at least I'm slowin' down the fall      I just need some time to think   Somethin' strong to drink, a moment to recall   With this kind of hurt, sometimes the whiskey works   Sometimes it don't at all   But at least I'm slowin' down the fall   At least I'm slowin' down the fall
