Bill Anderson - Bright Lights and Country Music 

I love those bright lights and country music

I won't stay home 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 guys 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 what helped me 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 men with women on their minds

Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine

Quite like bright lights and country music

Bright lights and country music...

I love those bright lights and country music
