D D/F# D/F# D
Her mama always told her to hold out for a good man
D/F# D D/F# D
Sounded like a good plan all those years ago
G
A little house with a picket fence
G
Simple life with a couple kids
Bm A
But tonight she's just looking for a shoulder
[Chorus 1]
D/F# G
She was hoping for pink champagne
D
But she'll settle for well whiskey
G
Saw herself in a long white gown
D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy
Bm
And that one-night stand walking through the door
G D/F# G
Ain't the marrying kind, yeah that's for sure
D D/F# G
But she's gettin' older
D
And the bar's gettin' lower
[Verse 2]
D D/F# D/F# D
Her dreams are disappearing like smoke from his cigarette
D/F# D D/F# D
She hasn't said "Yes" but she's thinking she might
G
The closer it gets to closing time
G
A lonely heart will take a pick-up line
Bm A
Anything to get her through the night
[Chorus 2]
D/F# G
She was hoping for pink champagne
D
But she'll settle for well whiskey
G
Saw herself in a long white gown
D
Not downtown gettin' tipsy
Bm
And that drunk cowboy tellin' her lies
G D/F# G
Ain't the John Wayne she had in mind
D D/F# G
But she's gettin' older
D
And the bar's gettin' lower
[Interlude]
|G |G |D |D |
[Chorus 3]
Bm
She could thank you for the drink and walk away
G
Live to love another day
D D/F# G
But she's gettin' older
Bm A G
And the night's gettin' colder
