Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I slid in just after ten
Hat brim low, boots worn thin
Bartender knew my name by heart
Poured that amber in the dark
The stool beside me stayed bare
Your goodbye still lingered there
I watched the ice go round and round
Like my old truck leaving town
[Pre-Chorus]
And the clock kept crawling
My heart kept falling
One more round, one more lie
I kept staring at the sky
[Chorus]
Drinking late at night
Under that bright bar sign
Trying to wash you out
One slow sip at a time
Drinking late at night
With a hurt too hard to hide
If I leave before the dawn
I might leave you behind
(Might leave you behind)
[Verse 2]
A fool with a ring on my thumb
Counting all the things I lost and won
Pool balls tapped a lazy beat
Some old heartache in my seat
Said I’d quit when I saw your face
But your memory kept its place
In every crack of that old bar stool
I kept playing me for a fool
[Pre-Chorus]
And the clock kept crawling
My heart kept falling
One more round, one more lie
I kept staring at the sky
[Chorus]
Drinking late at night
Under that bright bar sign
Trying to wash you out
One slow sip at a time
Drinking late at night
With a hurt too hard to hide
If I leave before the dawn
I might leave you behind
(Might leave you behind)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not as tough
As the boys all think I was
Maybe my pride runs dry
Just like this glass tonight
[Final Chorus]
Drinking late at night
Under that bright bar sign
Trying to wash you out
One slow sip at a time
Drinking late at night
With a hurt too hard to hide
If I leave before the dawn
I might leave you behind
(Might leave you behind)

Style
Country ballad with steady two-step rhythm, brushed drums, walking bass, twangy Telecaster fills, and pedal steel sighs; verse stays intimate and story-driven, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmony, chorus opens into a chantable hook with handclaps and gang vocals, bridge strips to voice and steel before the final chorus swells; close-mic male vocal, warm room reverb, crisp acoustic mix, a few beer-glass clinks and jukebox swells between lines, country, light
