Miranda Lambert - Dark Bars Lyrics






I'm here for the habit
Complementary matches
The pretty bartenders
The smoke and the mirrors
The unhappy hour
The bitters and sours
Where nobody knows me
Where I can be lonely

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watching drunks all drown with no lifeguard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar

I can be reckless
I can be desperate
An invisible stranger
Secrets never in danger
And it ain't nothin' fancy
'Cause the manager, Nancy
She's an old jukebox junkie
She plays nothing but country

I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watching drunks all drown with no life guard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
Ooh

No, I'm not in pain, I'm not on pills
But I'm still hanging out in dark bars
On a bar stool for the cheap thrills
Watching drunks all drown with no lifeguard
'Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar

  56. L.... C....

    From Kerosene to Wild Card, you will always be my #1 artist.
    Your songs always identify with my many moods. When im sad you lift me up.
    When I'm happy, you make me want to sing along. My granddaughter was 11 years old when she introduced me to White Liar , i was so in tune with that song i wanted to know more about who Miranda was.
    So i read every article in country music news i could find, and listened to every song.
    You are my Addiction.
    I'm so glad you found happiness at last.
    Thank you for your contributions to music.

    L.... C....

    Lorrle Carroll I I’m an older woman too. I have loved her and her music ever since I first heard her in 2005. I never stopped listening and I never even heard country music before that.

  64. C.... H....

    Love💙 this song🎶and this beats🔥🔥🔥
    It's beautiful
    Co's I know a few things about broke hearts
    🌲🐺👍🐾💕🌲

  65. G.... H....

    Why hasn't this got a million hits??!!! Really gave me chills!! Story of my life right here. Sober going on 5years and sometimes i'll go into a bar because of the habit. I miss the stories and the people behind them. Makes me feel better about myself to relate to other's thru the same pain and struggles🙏

  66. N.... M....

    This needs to be released as a single. It’s the Tin Man of Wildcard. It should be performed at the CMAs, but I heard she will perform All Comes Out in the Wash. That song has had enough publicity.

    N.... M....

    I AGREE THAT IS NOT THE BEST SONG

    N.... M....

    I wish she wouldn’t do that one (The wash one). I think it’s the worst one of all I’ve heard from the new ones. The rest are really good.

    N.... M....

    yes i agree with you releash it MIRANDA NOW

  67. M.... F....

    Love the honest and gritty depth that this song brings.

  68. G.... O....

  71. A.... C....

    Should be Entertainer of the Year!

  72. D.... W....

    Say what you want, but to me, Miranda has been the real queen of country music for the last decade. This is solid country music with no attempt to be “pop country”. This & Tequila Does are my two favorites from the record.

    D.... W....

    @christar 95 Shania Reba Tammy wynette dolly carrie Underwood and faith hill have all been called queens of country by entertainment industry people. Let's add Miranda to that list

    D.... W....

    SHE SURE IS THE GWEN OF CONTRY WHAT A VOICE AN SHE WRITES THEM ALL > WE ADORE AN LOVE YOU RAN>

    D.... W....

    AMEN DUSTIN YES SHE IS QWEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC FOR THE LAST DECADE.

    D.... W....

    My absolute favorite off wildcard. Love her sooo much.

    D.... W....

    true miranda is our BARBIE DOLL > AN GWEN IS A GRANNY SORRY BUT TRUE.

  73. O.... F....

    And it ain't nothin' fancy
    'Cause the manager, Nancy
    She's an old jukebox junkie

    She plays nothin' but country
    ******Need this shirt! Love these bartenders and bar managers they play our country

These lyrics has been me for the past couple of months with ups and downs.. I love you Miranda!! You’re my rock!!💗

  76. D.... R....

    OHHH how I want to go see her in concert!!

    I can be wreckless
    I can be desperate
    An invisible stranger

    countrygirl countrymusiclover when you say you are “26 but act 36” are you referring to your I.Q.?
