Lyrics
The bartender'll give my eulogy
Raise 'em up 'stead of pouring 'em out for me
The bouncer in the back's already wearing black
When the time comes
He'll be ready
In lieu of flowers, tip the cover band
Make sure they play a little "Country Boy Can Survive"
If I don't make it through the night
I'll fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor 'fore my eyes close
When the Good Lord stops this honky tonk heart
I wanna die
I wanna die in a bar
Yeah, when you swing on in them swingin' doors
Leave that heartache out on the porch
My happy hour don't allow no tears
So dry 'em up
And fill your cups
While I fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor 'fore my eyes close
When the Good Lord stops this honky tonk heart
I wanna die in a bar
I wanna die in a bar
I'll fly away on a whiskey river
Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark
Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor 'fore my eyes close
When the Good Lord stops this honky tonk heart
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die in a bar
I wanna die in a bar
Yeah
