I need a new place to drink and dance and party
all night long
'Cause I sure can't go back to my old honky tonk
Yeah, I know she'll be there, leanin' on the bar
Yeah, stealin' some other cowboy's heart
Lord, I think I need a new place to drink

Every time I'm in this bar
Well, she comes around
I'm tryin' to pick me back up
Oh, man, she keeps knockin' me down
There's other neon lights somewhere else
Lord, she keeps puttin' me through hell
It's time to move on, adios, goodbye

I need a new place to drink and dance and party
all night long
'Cause I sure can't go back to my old honky tonk
Yeah, I know she'll be there, leanin' on the bar
Yeah, stealin' some other cowboy's heart
Lord, I think I need a new place to drink

No, it ain't gonna be easy
Leavin' my old stompin' grounds
There's a whole lotta bars in this new Nashville town
I'm gonna miss that old jukebox
and all them old country songs
It's like I'm breakin' up twice, but I've got to get gone

I need a new place to drink and dance
and party all night long
'Cause I sure can't go back to my old honky tonk
Yeah, I know she'll be there, leanin' on the bar
Yeah, stealin' some other cowboy's heart
Lord, I think I need a new place to drink

I don't know who I'm gonna miss more
That girl or them swinging doors
Hell no, I don't really want to
But I know what I got to do

I need a new place to drink and dance
and party all night long
'Cause I sure can't go back to my old honky tonk
Yeah, I know she'll be there, leanin' on the bar
Yeah, stealin' some other cowboy's heart
Lord, I think I need a new place to drink

Yeah, Lord, I think I need a new place to drink
