I Hate To Go Searchin’ Them Bars Again

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again
But if I can't have you
That's what I'll do
I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

You're just what I had on my mind
And girl, you weren't easy to find
But love, like justice, sometimes can be blind
Well, you can't seem to make up your mind

And I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again
But if I can't have you
That's what I'll do
I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

I could get to drinking too much
In search of a soft loving touch
Their smiles are too quick
And the music's too loud
Honey, don't send me back to that crowd

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again
But if I can't have you
That's what I'll do
I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again
But if I can't have you
That's what I'll do
I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again
But if I can't have you
That's what I'll do
Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again

Oh, I'd hate to go searchin' them bars again
Pickin' up bruises and scars again (pickin' up bruises and scars again)
