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

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.
