Soon as your taillights pulled out of my drive
I thought, "Hell, what am I gonna do? "
I spent a few nights with this broke heart of mine
Trying to lonely my way over you
Thought I'd give drowning your memory a try
I found what I needed in these neon lights

Friends on the jukebox and friends wall to wall
Dimes on the dance floor and cheap alcohol
Round after round, we're all having a ball
I guess lonely ain't lonely after all
No, lonely ain't lonely after all

When I walked through the door I was pretty damn sure
Your goodbye would take more than a beer
Now I'm eighty proof plastered, three chord tail accostered
And I'm grinning from ear to ear
I gave us a shot, then I shot a few more
And then I forgot what I gave a shot for

I got friends on the jukebox and friends wall to wall
Dimes on the dance floor and cheap alcohol
Round after round, we're all having a ball
I guess lonely ain't lonely after all
No, lonely ain't lonely after all

If you think I'm alone, just drinking all night
Well, honey, you ain't all wrong
But you sure ain't all right

'Cause I got friends on the jukebox and friends wall to wall
Dimes on the dance floor and cheap alcohol
Round after round, how 'bout another one y'all?
'Cause lonely ain't lonely after all
I wrote your name and your number on an old bathroom stall
Said, "For a good time, call"
Lonely ain't lonely after all
No, lonely ain't lonely after all
