Lyrics
I love those bright lights and country music
I won’t sit around and cry tonight like all the nights before
I’ve just learned that I don’t really need you anymore
I found a little place downtown where girls like me can go
And they’ve got bright lights and country music
Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass
Soon I’ll be forgetting that there ever was a past
And when everybody asks me just how I forget so fast
I’ll say bright lights and country music
A table by the bandstand a bottle filled with wine
Honky tonks were made for girls with lover on their minds
Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine
Quite like bright lights and country music
Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass
Soon I’ll be forgetting that there ever was a past
And when everybody asks me just how I forget so fast
I’ll say bright lights and country music
And those bright lights and blue grass music
