I've tried to going out,
running 'round with the party crowd
Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak
didn't mean a thing
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 till
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 in 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 till
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 till
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
