I hit the town, on March 17th
It seemed Patty's day, but I ain't wearing green
Love is dead and it ain't coming back.
Tonight I'm wearing black.
I'm hanging close to all of my friends
I tell them I'm happy my heart's on the mend
I'm moving on and I ain't looking back
Tonight I'm wearing black.
Wo-oah, let's raise a glass
And toast one to Johnny Cash
Wo-oah, choose to forget her
And everything's better in black.
I'm hiding out in the darkest of pubs
Surviving on shadows and cold icy mugs
So come on bartender don't hold nothing back
Tonight I'm wearing black.
Wo-oah let's raise a glass
And toast one to Johnny Cash
Wo-oah, choose to forget her
And everything's better in black.
If she comes here looking
That's just too bad
I'll still be hiding out way in the back
In a dark corner table, but she won't know that
'Cause tonight I'm wearing black
Wo-oah, let's raise a glass
And toast one to Johnny Cash
Wo-oah choose to forget her
And everything's better in black
Oh everything's better in black
Tonight I'm wearing black
