Lyrics
I've been staying out
Partying and stompin all over town
If anybody wants to know where I've been,
I've been down at the Broken Inn
She broke my heart, I broke my fist on the wall, broke our wedding picture throwing it down the hall,
her sweet lovin's what started it all, down at the Broken Inn.
I'll be out tonight
Drowning my sorrows til the morning light
Trying to make myself alright
Down at the Broken Inn
Chorus:
Down at the Broken Inn
Drinking by myself with all my friends
My love used to make her smile
Till it started crampin' down her style
And I'm gonna be here for a while
Yeah, c'mon
Instrumental....
I'm gettin' down my own routine, of bouncin' all around the bar room scene. And all my barkeeps know what I mean, down at the Broken Inn.
They pour me bourbon, pour me scotch on the rocks, they listen to my stories and feel the pain I've got. They're healin' heartaches when the liquor's not, Down at the Broken Inn.
I'll be out tonight
Oh, Drowning my sorrows til the morning light
Trying to make myself alright
Down at the Broken Inn
Chorus:
Down at the Broken Inn
Drinking by myself with all my friends
My love used to make her smile
Till it started crampin down her style
And I'm gonna be here for a while
Chorus:
Down at the Broken Inn
Drinking by myself with all my friends
My love used to make her smile
Till it started crampin' down her style.
And I'm gonna be here for a while
I'm gonna be here for a while
Yeah, Down at the Broken Inn
I'll be at the Broken Inn
I'll be down at the Broken Inn
