Lyrics
Spent my last fifty dollars on a twenty two
A pint of courage and I'm over you
Tonight, one more night
With the promise broken and the hope all gone
There ain't no use in holding on
Tonight, one more night
And I don't know who's right or wrong
But I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong
This kind of love ain't meant to be
I can lie to you, but not to me
Tonight, one more night
Dear John, don't look for me
I've had enough, now let me be
And I'm not looking for another fight
But I'm not getting kicked around tonight
One more night
Your eyes start to wander when you call my name
And I've had enough of the guilt and shame
Tonight, it ain't right
I see your face get colder and your temper rise
I see the anger burning in your eyes
Tonight, one more night
And I cried to Jesus and Lord, I prayed
But I can't stay here being so afraid
Nothing I do don't seem to please
But I won't keep going on bended knees
Tonight, one more night
Dear John, don't look for me
I've had enough, now let me be
And I'm not looking for another fight
But I'm not getting kicked around tonight
One more night
Dear John, don't look for me
Dear John, don't look for me
Dear John, don't look for me
