[Verse 1]
Well, that old neon sign's like an old friend of mine
Someone I tell my troubles to
It's kinda smokey in here, but it's a right atmosphere
For someone who feels like I do
So pour me another and make it a good one
I don't care if I look like a fool
Oh, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feelin' hillbilly blue
[Verse 2]
Well, the music is loud and I'm not one for crowds
And I didn't come here to dance
There's a girl over there, I caught her in a stare
But I don't feel much like romance
I wouldn't be good company
I'm sure she'd understand if she knew
Maybe some other time, but tonight
I'm feelin' hillbilly blue
[Bridge]
So ask the band if they'll play an old cheatin' song
Well, you know the kind where somebody does somebody wrong
I know the whiskey won't end my misery
It's nothin' more than a poor substitute
But it helps me unwind when I find
That I'm hillbilly blue
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
So pour me another and make it a double
I don't care if I look like a fool
Oh, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feelin' hillbilly blue
Mm, yeah, it's alright 'cause tonight
I'm feelin' hillbilly blue
