I used to hang at the horseshoe. Youâd see me
spinning at the Broken Spoke

I take my gal to the Gaslight. We lived on whiskey
and smoke
G D
G
Donât know how it all started, didnât mean to hurt no
one
D A
D
Some bad luck and whatâs done canât be undone.
Verse 2
Well it was way past midnight Anetta hollered out last
call
I turned around and Wranglinâ Ron was headed for a
brawl
I didnât know that other guy was a cop. I guess I
didnât care
Sometimes you got to act like you got a pair
Chorus 2
My drinking days are over. No more nights at the
Carousel
No more fights, no more neon lights, I guess itâs just
as well
I never knew what time it was Îtil closing time came
round
My drinking days are over but Iâm still trouble bound
Instrumental
Verse 3
Well I get to ride out to Huntsville. I will be there
for a while
Staring out a mesh window, mile after mile.
I donât have any regrets; well, maybe just a few,
But a manâs gonna do what heâs gonna do.
Chorus 3
My drinking days are over. No more nights in the
Carousel.
My buddies say theyâre going to miss me; they can go
to hell.
I never knew what time it was Îtil closing time came
round,
My drinking days are over. Iâm still trouble bound.
I never knew what time it was Îtil closing time came
round.
My drinking days are over. Iâm still trouble bound.
D A G D
My drinking days are over.
