Radney Foster - Closing Time lyrics

Every afternoon at five o'clock

I forget all about you

There ain't nothin' 'bout this honky-tonk

To remind me we're through.

And I can put off going back

To that ol' empty house you swore you'd never leave

From the loneliness you handed me

I can get a brief reprieve.

From here until closing time

It won't matter you're gone

I can fill up my emptiness

Maybe make it on my own.

From now til they lock the doors

Put the chairs up and sweep the floors

You won't even cross my mind

From here until closing time.

Well, the good old days are good and gone

Since you left without me

If I could figure out where we went wrong

Then maybe I'd be free.

From these ties that bind my foolish heart

And just won't let me start my life again

Then I wouldn't need this lonesome bar

Where I come to pretend.

From here until closing time

It won't matter you're gone

Your memory won't break my heart

I can make it on my own.

From now til they lock the doors

Put the chairs up and sweep the floors

You won't even cross my mind

From here until closing time.

Every afternoon at five o'clock

I forget all about you...
