Bartender, I may sit here on this barstool all night long

But I won't need much attention

I just need some time alone

So, if you'll give me some quarters

And a bottle of your best

You can just sit back and watch the jukebox do the rest



CHORUS:



Give it to me strait

Sing up my blue

While I sit here and cry

And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye

It's gonna take a fire mug

To put this old flame out

So, come on

Give it to me strait

Before I come unwound





Let's start of nice 'n' easy

Somethin' light

I know me

Then we'll work our way up slowly

To fool-hearted memory

Yeah, I've got all night long

To sit right here and fall apart

So don't leave out one single song

I know 'em all by broken heart



(Repeat chorus)



There ain't one country singer

That ain't good for a bad heartache

And for me there's nothin' smoother

Than a good stiff shot of strait



It's gonna take a fire mug

To put this old flame out

So, come on

Give it to me strait

Before I come unwound

Come on

Give it to me strait

Before I come unwound
