Lyrics

[Verse]
The jukebox played a lonesome tune,
In a small-town bar under the moon,
He took a shot and sat alone,
Dreams and worries all his own.

[Verse 2]
The bartender knew him by name,
Each night it seemed just the same,
With every drink, his troubles fade,
One more night in this masquerade.

[Chorus]
One shot, one night, to feel alright,
Under the dusty neon lights,
He found some peace, just for a while,
In every tear, in every smile.

[Verse 3]
The waitress brought his last round,
Every sigh a quiet sound,
Memories of the road he'd walked,
Faded fast with every drop.

[Verse 4]
Closing time was drawing near,
He faced the ghosts he used to fear,
But in the bottle, solace found,
One shot, one night, on hallowed ground.

[Chorus]
One shot, one night, to feel alright,
Under the dusty neon lights,
He found some peace, just for a while,
In every tear, in every smile.
