There's AD Half-Lit Bar On TheA Edge Of TGown

Now's HeD Lost In The Mess HeA Left BeGhind

But HeD Never Learned How ToA Make It StayG Away, And Said
I'mBm Back To What I Know, GBack To The Burn
DBack To A Glass That Don'tA Ask Me To Learn
When TheBm World Gets Loud And MyG Faith Gets Low
I DLean On The OnlyA Thing I Know
