  • Bartender I may sit here on this bar stool all night long
    But I won't need much attention
    I just need some time alone
    So if you'll give me some quarters and a bottle of your best
    You can just sit back and let the jukebox do the rest

    Give it to me Strait
    Sing "Am I Blue" while I sit here and cry
    And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
    It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
    So come on give it to me Strait
    Before I come unwound

    Let's start off nice and easy
    Something like "If I Know Me"
    And we'll work our way up slowly to "Fool Hearted Memory"
    Yeah, I've got all night long to sit right here and fall apart
    So don't leave out one single song
    I know 'em all by broken heart

    Give it to me Strait
    Sing "Am I Blue" while I sit here and cry
    Tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
    It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
    So come on give it to me Strait
    Before I come unwound

    There ain't one country singer
    That ain't good for a bad heartache
    And for me there's nothing smoother
    Than a good stiff shot of Strait

    It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
    So come on give it to me Strait
    Before I come unwound
    So come on give it to me Strait
    Before I come unwound Writer/s: Reese Wilson, Steve Grauberger
