Settlin' for What They Get

From the table to the jukebox

Is just a few short steps

Where a dollar will buy a sad song,

And a few strong drinks to help

Them ol' lonely hearts and honky tonks,

Searchin' for happiness

Tryin' to find what they want

And settlin' for what they get.



From the promise of forever

To the waving of goodbye

To many hearts are broken,

'Cause too many lips have lied

To those lonely hearts, and honky tonks,

Searchin' for happiness

Tryin' to find what they want

And settlin' for what they get.



So step right up, and wish me luck

And play that song again

The one about a loser

Who just can't seem to win

And all those lonely hearts and

Honky tonks searchin' for happiness

Tryin' to find what they want

And settlin' for what they get.

Tryin' to find what they want

And settlin' for what they get...
