Smokey the bar
Lights dimly glow
It's good that way
Cause heartaches don't show
Each hand holds a glass
Each glass holds a beer
Jukebox record play
Mid sorrow and cheer
Lots of them are happy
They laugh and tell their jokes
While lots of them are here
Because they're just lonely folks
And then there are others
Whose hearts wear a scar
But you can't see them crying
It's so Smokey the bar
Smokey the bar
Smokey the bar
Smokey the bar
Lights glowing dim
They hardly notice
When someone walks in
So order up your drinks
To the music that's loud
You'll find a friend
Somewhere in the crowd
While the ashes are falling
From the smoke that you inhale
There's a friend
There's an old dream to recall
On a new one that failed
Should a tear betray your eye
If a memory slips too far
Don't tell them that you're crying
Just say Smokey the bar
While the ashes are falling
From the smoke that you inhale
Don't tell them that you're crying
Just say Smokey the bar
Smokey the bar
It's so Smokey the bar
Smokey the bar

Smokey the bar
