There's candles at each table   Smoke fills the cracks   Honey, I stopped in to drink   Tomorrow I'll be back   I'll bet she thinks the world of me   She's walking out the door   Misery tavern, it's the only place I know      I tried to get along somehow   Start loving someone new   Each time I make a start   I'm right back in that room   I'll sober up long enough to find my way back in   Misery tavern, it's the only place I know   Misery tavern, tonight I'll go down slow   Misery tavern, it's the only place I know      (verse 1)   Misery tavern, tonight I'll go down slow   Misery tavern, it's the only place I know
