I've tried the going out, running 'round with the party crowd 
 Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak didn't mean anything 
 I've tried the burning it up and the shutting it down 
 Look how that turned out 
    I've done everything 
 But giving in to the pain 
 So tonight   
 I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting 
 I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon 
 I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender 
 Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember 
 Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red 
 But tonight, I'm doing something new 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue   
 Gonna find me a barstool with a silver line and silver smoke 
 Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke 
 Yeah, I've been acting like you're something that I don't want back 
 But hell, this ain't that   
 I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting 
 I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon 
 I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender 
 Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember 
 Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red 
 But tonight, I'm doing something new 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue   
 I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting 
 I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon 
 I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender 
 Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember 
 Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red 
 But tonight, I'm doing something new 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue 
 I'm gonna paint the town blue   
 I'm gonna paint the town blue
