My drinking days are over No more nights at the Carousel My buddies say they're gonna miss me but Who could ever tell I never knew what time it was Til closing time came round My drinking days are over But I'm still troublebound I used to hang at the Horseshoe You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke I'd take my gal to The Gaslight We lived on whiskey and smoke Don't know how it all started Didn't mean to hurt no one Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone Well it was way past midnight Anetta hollered out last call I turned around and Wranglin' Ron Was headed for a brawl I didn't know that other guy was a cop I guess I didn't care Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair Chorus Steel solo I got a ride out to Huntsville I'll be there for a while Staring out a mesh window Mile after mile I don't have any regrets, well Maybe just a few But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do Chorus
