[Verse]
I sit where the wood’s worn thin
Carved hearts and names
Faded in
The jukebox hums a lonesome tune
Dust in the sunlight
Dancing at noon
[Chorus]
Down at the Long Branch Bar
Drinking alone
Lost in the stories this place has known
Every bottle whispers
Every chair groans
Down at the Long Branch Bar
Drinking alone
[Verse 2]
That old barkeep
He nods my way
Knows my name
But has nothing to say
His hands are steady
But his eyes betray
Memories he won’t let slip away
[Prechorus]
The clock ticks loud
The hours slow
What we’re running from
Only we know
[Chorus]
Down at the Long Branch Bar
Drinking alone
Lost in the stories this place has known
Every bottle whispers
Every chair groans
Down at the Long Branch Bar
Drinking alone
[Bridge]
I see ghosts in the neon glow
Shadows of faces I used to know
Laughter echoes
But it turns to stone
In this quiet war
Where I’m overthrown
