There's candles at each table

Smoke fills the cracks

Honey, i stopped in to drink

Tomorrow i'll be back

I'll bet she thinks the world of me

She's walking out the door

Misery tavern, it's the only place i know



I tried to get along somehow

Start loving someone new

Each time i make a start

I'm right back in that room

I'll sober up long enough to find my way back in

Misery tavern, it's the only place i know

Misery tavern, tonight i'll go down slow

Misery tavern, it's the only place i know



(verse 1)

Misery tavern, tonight i'll go down slow

Misery tavern, it's the only place i know
