Winding Down - Clint Black

As past times go I guess I’ve seen some good

It’s not always the best ones come and stay

There’s a crowd that thinks there is one

And it should

Cause they seem to spend theirs the some old way

And they call it winding down

The six to ten crowd, smoky bars

Notes on napkins and business cards

Describe the days events and go on home

And it’s likely they won’t drown

The price goes up and one more round

They close up all the bars downtown

As the singer plays one last rip roaring song

It seems like the same ole motions every night

He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back

And I’ll play out all the emotions I can’t fight

Relive the tensions and hope they’re on the right track

And they call it winding down

The six to ten crowd, smoky bars

Notes on napkins and business cards

Describe the days events and go on home

And it’s likely they won’t drown

The price goes up and one more round

They close up all the bars downtown

As the singer plays one last rip roaring song

It seems like the same ole motions every night

He wants to hear a golden oldie to take him back

And I’ll play out all the emotions I can’t fight

Relive the tensions and hope they’re on the right track

Honky tonk heroes are turn the page

And the books are closed tonight

Cause everybody knows you gottta leave’em up

So they’ll go home feeling right

You gotta leave’em up so they’ll go home

Feeling right
