At a bar out in Reno
In a rundown casino
In the heart of the bad part of town
She works nine 'til closin'
But the life that she’s chosen
Ain’t the kind that makes Momma proud
She’s the belle of the bar
Shines like a star
Could light up your life with a smile
You’ll drink all night
'Cause when she’s in sight
Time wasted’s always worthwhile
She’s a barroom beauty
She’s tattooed and moody
But she’ll love you truly at night
She’s blue bloodshot eyes
Sunday sunrise
And a good way to get through the night
And as I leave her this mornin'
I wish this were more than goodbye
But I’m a trav’lin' musician
A man on a mission
To sing all these sad country songs
Well I sang her a few
And the words she all knew
And sat down and sang right along
From the bar to the streets
'Neath the stars, 'neath the sheets
She laid in my arms 'til the dawn
With the dawn’s morning light
Before goodbye
I sat down and wrote her this song
She’s a barroom beauty
She’s tattooed and moody
But she’ll love you truly at night
She’s blue bloodshot eyes
Sunday sunrise
And a good way to get through the night
And as I leave her this mornin'
I wish this were more than goodbye
I wish this were more than goodbye
