Lyrics

[Verse]
The neon lights are flickering, it's a quarter past nine,
I'm nursing this old whiskey, just to pass the time.
She's pouring drinks with a smile, making my heart race,
But I'm the only one who's got a plan to win this chase.
[Verse 2]
Guys around are ogling, can't take their eyes off her,
They think a pretty face is all it takes to make her purr.
But I know something deeper, there's more than meets the eye,
A woman like her needs a man who won't just say goodbye.
[Chorus]
Closing time romance, it's not just a chance,
To go home with someone and have a one-night dance.
She's more than just a pretty face behind that wooden bar,
Tonight, I'm taking her home, we're gonna raise the stars.
[Verse 3]
A wink and a soft whisper, it's more than just a play,
We share a quiet moment, it's been like this all day.
They can try their luck and charm her with their lines,
But I've got something stronger safe between the pines.
[Bridge]
We share our hopes and heartaches under these dim lights,
She knows I'll treat her right, won't be like other nights.
The jukebox starts to play our song as the lights grow dim,
Tonight, she'll come with me, not just on a whim.

[Verse 4]
Clock is striking midnight, the chairs up on the bar,
She slips into my jacket, we're heading to my car.
Leaving all the noise behind as we drive down this old road,
Her hand in mine, it's love's heavy load.
