She couldn't keep from cryin' when she told me goodbye

I knew Lord it was breakin' her heart, and she was breakin mine

So for the sake of her feelings and the sake of my pride

I told her not to worry 'bout me

So I'm sittin here soakin' up the neon lights

Misery looking for some company

 

Tonight I'm lookin for a party crowd

Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud

Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around

With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care

If they're dancin' over here or fightin over there

I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

 

It'll dawn on me tomorrow wherever I wake up

I'll look back and try to recall just where the heck's my truck

So take my keys and lock em up tight, let the good times flow

I'll worry bout tomorrow when it comes to light

The night's still young and I'm on a roll

 

Tonight I'm lookin for a party crowd

Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud

Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around

With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care

If they're dancin' over here or fightin over there

I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

 

Tonight I'm lookin for a party crowd

Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud

Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around

With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care

If they're dancin' over here or fightin over there

I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

 

Tonight I'm lookin for a party crowd

Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud

Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around

With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care

If they're dancin' over here or fightin over there

I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd.
