Golden Teardrops - The Flamingos

And the whiskey was free

If that ol' car in the parking lot

Drove home automatically

If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights

Didn’t start those memories

Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world

For somebody just like me

How long can a girl keep goin'

Like every day’s the last

I’ve paid off the rent and the government

Maybe I could pay off the past

If the jukebox took teardrops

And the whiskey was free

If that ol' car in the parking lot

Drove home automatically

If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights

Didn’t start those memories

Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world

For somebody just like me

Wouldn’t I be on easy street

Livin' this life of mine

I could keep right on till the hurt’s all gone

And it wouldn’t cost me a dime

If the jukebox took teardrops

And the whiskey was free

If that ol' car in the parking lot

Drove home automatically

If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights

Didn’t start those memories

Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world

For somebody just like me

If the jukebox took teardrops

And the whiskey was free

And the whiskey was free

If that ol' car in the parking lot
