D G D
Hello we're lonely, there's no one around
A D
We're the only empty barroom in town
D G D
I'm that friendly bartender that you always hear about
E7 A
And I'm that waitress that you flirt with when you try to make out
D G
There's no one here to tell their troubles to me
G A D
Hello we're lonely
Chorus 1:
G D
Now I wonder where Chuck Taylor is cause he comes here every night
E7 A
Betty Ann should be here she and Freddy had a fight
D G Em
When Billy Joe gets off from work he'll stop for two or three
G A D
Hello we're lonely
Put some money in that jukebox play some old Hank Williams songs
And I'll freshen up my make up cause they'll come before to long
Without lonely people I wonder where we'd be
Hello we're lone-ly
Chorus 2:
Well we might as well close up oh gee what a day it's been
That he mixes up a double and I'll play that song again
On nights like this we're in the mood for having two or three
Hello we're lone-ly
Hello we're lonely there's no one around
We're the only empty barroom in town
