Lyrics
Verse 1
I woke up with a hotel keyIn a pocket full of receiptsA lipstick mark on a pearl-snap sleeveAnd a name I forgot by noonShe laughed when I asked where we metSaid, "Honey, you don't remember yet?"I said, "Darlin', that's a dangerous bet"Then she kissed me in the afternoon
Pre‑Chorus
I've counted bars from AbileneTo Amarillo after darkEvery town leaves a little flameAnd every flame leaves a mark
Chorus
How many have I loved? Hell, I don't knowHow many names are lost in the smoke?Could be a hundred, could be a fewCould be more than this old heart can proveIf I ever find that number outI'll raise a glass and laugh out loudWould I do it different? Not a chanceI'd do it all over againYeah, I'd do it all over again
Verse 2
There was Jenny down in San AntoneMaribel by the county lineA redhead who stole my Sunday bootsAnd a brunette who stole my mindSome left mad, some left sweetSome left notes beneath the passenger seatI kept the memories, lost the receiptsLord, I was having a hell of a time
Pre‑Chorus
I've kissed goodbye in parking lotsAnd promised more than I could keepBut every time that jukebox startsThe past comes walking in with me
Chorus
How many have I loved? Hell, I don't knowHow many names are lost in the smoke?Could be a hundred, could be a fewCould be more than this old heart can proveIf I ever find that number outI'll raise a glass and laugh out loudWould I do it different? Not a chanceI'd do it all over againYeah, I'd do it all over again
Bridge
Maybe I'm a fool, maybe that's trueBut I never lied when I said, "I want you"And if the road comes calling like it did back thenI'd turn that key and chase it again
Final Chorus
How many have I loved? Hell, I don't knowHow many names are lost in the smoke?Could be a hundred, could be a fewCould be more than this old heart can proveIf I ever find that number outI'll raise a glass and laugh out loudWould I do it different? Not a chanceI'd do it all over againCome on, boys, sing it one more timeI'd do it all over againYeah, I'd do it all over again
Outro
No, I probably couldn't tell you whenBut I'd do it all over again
