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
