Lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought there might be a genie In the bottom of this bottle but there ain't I learned the hard way Thought I could click these boots together That'd take me back to better weather Mm, when I had you and we had everything [Pre-Chorus] So I'll just close my eyes And find that sweet escape [Chorus] To where that neon turns to dawn House band plays our favorite songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartendеrs know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskеy works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell That's my honkytonk fairytale [Verse 2] I wish this dusty rug was magic carpet Take me back to where we started That little bar off of 18th Avenue Sometimes I swear I hear you in the wind You say you're coming back again But it's only ever in my mind [Pre-Chorus] So I close my eyes And chase the light [Chorus] To where that neon turns to dawn House band plays our favorite songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartenders know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskey works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell That's my honkytonk fairytale [Bridge] If I drink all this bourbon It'll either stop the hurting Or I'll get to stay forever there this time [Chorus] Where the neon turns to dawn House band plays them Whitley songs And we always got the dance floor to ourselves Bartenders know us by our names Don't ask or charge us for our drinks Well whiskey works just like a wishing well There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell That's my honkytonk fairytale Mm, my honkytonk fairytale
