I sold my horse and saddle Rode the Greydog to New York My guitar and fifty dollars Between bein all alone Found a job that pays okay But it costs twice as much to stay So I'll just buy myself a beer and dream of home When things ain't going good That's when everything goes bad But this old bar's my home away from home I won't worry about tomorrow Cause tonight I'll drown my sorrow Think about that sweet thang back in San Antoine I'm hangin' in by hangin' out 'Til I drink the night away 'Til I find my name in neon lights I guess I'm gonna have to stay But I'm tired of sleepin' all alone My arms can reach to San Antoine So tonight'll be another honky tonk night on Broadway When all that's on my mind is the love you left behind That's when honkin' tonkin' helps to ease the pain And you know that I get lonesome too But these cowboys know I belong to you And I'm waitin' 'til I'm in your arms again I'm hangin' in by hangin' out 'Til I drink the night away 'Til you find your name in neon lights I guess you're gonna have to stay I'm so tired of sleepin' all alone My arms can reach to San Antoine So tonight'll be another honky tonk night on Broadway I'm hangin' in by hangin' out 'Til I drink the night away 'Til you find your name in neon lights I guess you're gonna have to stay I'm so tired of sleepin' all alone My arms can reach to San Antoine So tonight'll be another honky tonk night on Broadway
