Goodbyes Are Hard To Listen To

[Verse 1]
Ain't a soul around downtown
I found at a corner bar at noon
They oughta padlock that old jukebox
'Cause I can't stop
Spinnin' "Lovesick Blues"
I know to you it ain't nothin' new
Just another fool pullin' up a stool
And I apologize 'cause I realize
That goodbyes are hard to listen to

[Chorus]
So, bartender, don't leave me
With my glass half-empty
Those old done you wrong
Sing-alongs sure hit home
Since she said we were through
And you shouldn't mix whiskey
With Haggard and Whitley
And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

[Verse 2]
I know I swore just a couple more, and then I'd hit the door
It's a quarter after two
I guess you see these old melodies got the best of me
And it's hard to face the truth
I'll make it worth your while
If I can stay awhile
While I finish up what I came here to do
And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

[Chorus]
So, bartender, don't leave me
With my glass half-empty
Those old done you wrong
Sing-alongs sure hit home
Since she said we were through
And you shouldn't mix whiskey
With ol' Haggard and Whitley
And I apologize 'cause I realize goodbyes are hard to listen to

[Outro]
They need a warnin' sign
On them 45's
That goodbyes are hard to listen to
Ain't a soul around downtown
I found in a corner bar at noon
