Steel Guitar Heartbreak Lyrics

In a corner of this dusty bar under dim and lonely lights

The steel guitar starts to play cutting through the night

Each note's a memory each chord's a tear

Playing the soundtrack of all we had when you were here

Steel guitar heartache sing me back in time

To when your love was mine and everything was fine

Now it's just this barstool holding me tight

As the steel guitar plays our love tonight

The bartender knows my name knows my drink my usual seat

He's seen the story of us unfold then retreat

With every slide and bend that old guitar cries

Telling tales of what happens when true love dies

Steel guitar heartache sing me back in time

To when your love was mine and everything was fine

Now it's just this barstool holding me tight

As the steel guitar plays our love tonight

Oh how we danced close and slow

Every beat promised forever but I had to watch you go

Now I'm swaying alone with ghosts in the gleam

While the steel guitar plays our broken dream

It's late and the crowd's thinning out the night's about to give in

But that steel guitar's still weeping for what might have been

One more song one more drink let the past come around

In the echo of our love's lost and found

Steel guitar heartache sing me back in time

To when your love was mine and everything was fine

Now it's just this barstool holding me tight

As the steel guitar plays our love tonight

So I'll sit here 'neath the neon glow let that steel guitar moan

Its mournful melody the sweetest pain I've ever known

Until the night fades away and I leave the dark behind

Carrying the tune of a love that's still outlined
