it's been a long time coming
as you shed a lonesome tear
now your in a wonderama
I wonder what your doing here
the flame no longer flickers
you're feeling just like a fool
you keep staring into your liquor
I'm wondering what to do
I don't hardly know you
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you smile
let me touch you for a while
I'm gonna ruin my black mascara
you're drinking whiskey when it should be wine
you keep on looking in to that mirror
but to me your looking really fine
I don't hardly know you
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you laugh at that cowgirl as she's walking out your door
I know a way to make you smile
just let me whisper things
you never heard before
just let me touch you baby
just let me touch you for a while
I don't hardly know
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you smile
It's been a long time
let me touch you for a while
as you shed a lonesome tear
now your in a wonderama
I wonder what your doing here
the flame no longer flickers
you're feeling just like a fool
you keep staring into your liquor
I'm wondering what to do
I don't hardly know you
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you smile
let me touch you for a while
I'm gonna ruin my black mascara
you're drinking whiskey when it should be wine
you keep on looking in to that mirror
but to me your looking really fine
I don't hardly know you
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you laugh at that cowgirl as she's walking out your door
I know a way to make you smile
just let me whisper things
you never heard before
just let me touch you baby
just let me touch you for a while
I don't hardly know
but I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you smile
It's been a long time
let me touch you for a while

The song is about a guy that always "picks the wrong girl". He comes into the bar again and again ALONE because he always ends up that way. She is a bartender and watched him again and again doing this to himself over and over (in the video). She says "You are drinking whiskey when you should be drinking wine" Meaning you are killing pain when the pain shouldn't be there in the first place. People often drink whiskey to kill pain and wine to celebrate or romantically. That is a cliche in all country/bluegrass music. She is saying stop wasting your love and time on "fly by night cowgirls" that keep bringing you down and give me a try for something real.
