Miranda Lambert Dark Bars (Lyric Video)
Lambert co-wrote “Dark Bars” with help from the songwriting team the Love Junkies (comprised of Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey). Miranda wrote this song in New York City where she now owns an apartment with her husband (Brendan McLoughlin). Miranda had her songwriting team come visit New York and the song was inspired by Miranda telling her fellow songwriters that they should go find a dark bar and think of some great stories for songs. The rest is history.
Miranda Lambert Dark Bars Lyrics
I’m here for the habit
Complimentary matches
The pretty bartenders
The smoke and the mirrors
The unhappy hour
The bitters and sours
Where nobody knows me
Where I can be lonely
I’m not in pain, I’m not on pills
But I’m still hanging out in dark bars
On the barstool for the cheap thrills
Watchin’ drunks all drown with no lifeguard
‘Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar
I can be reckless
I can be desperate
An invisible stranger
Secrets never in danger
And it ain’t nothin’ fancy
‘Cause the manager, Nancy
She’s an old jukebox junkie
She plays nothin’ but country
I’m not in pain, I’m not on pills
But I’m still hanging out in dark bars
On the barstool for the cheap thrills
Watchin’ drunks all drown with no lifeguard
‘Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
Ooh
No, I’m not in pain, I’m not on pills
But I’m still hanging out in dark bars
On the barstool for the cheap thrills
Watchin’ drunks all drown with no lifeguard
‘Cause I know a thing or two about broke hearts
Neon truth can hit real hard
In a dark bar
