Her mama always told her to hold out for a good man Sounded like a good plan all those years ago A little house with a picket fence Simple life with a couple kids But tonight she's just looking for a shoulder She was hoping for pink champagne But she'll settle for well whiskey Saw herself in a long white gown Not downtown gettin' tipsy And that one-night stand walking through the door Ain't the marrying kind, yeah that's for sure But she's gettin' older And the bar's gettin' lower Her dreams are disappearing like smoke from his cigarette She hasn't said "Yes," but she's thinking she might The closer it gets to closing time A lonely heart will take a pick-up line Anything to get her through the night 'Cause she was hoping for pink champagne But she'll settle for well whiskey Saw herself in a long white gown Not downtown gettin' tipsy And that drunk cowboy tellin' her lies Ain't the John Wayne she had in mind But she's gettin' older And the bar's gettin' lower She could thank him for the drink and walk away Live to love another day But she's gettin' older And the night's gettin' colder And the bar's gettin' lower The bar's gettin' lower
