Got word a couple weeks ago that this song just won 'BEST COUNTRY SONG' in the12th annual HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA AWARDS 2021! Just one of those songs that comes to you in a flash and by the end of the day, it's done. One of the easiest songs I've written and probably the most commercial traditional songs in my library.
What country artists should this be pitched to that would fit their current style?

Another Tearjerker.... E. Lamb
"Hey bartender, bring me another beer..."
You know I been thinkin’ honey...
Ever since you went away...
All about those many things I didn’t mean to say...
But I was angry then darlin’...
Didn’t think clear...
Now I’m all alone wishing you were here...
Well, I guess I never knew really...
How to treat you right...
Laid around all day baby and I ran around all night...
Well I was such a fool that finally paid the price...
The lesson to be learned guys...
It takes more than a ring, a cake & rice...
(CHORUS)
So now I’m sittin’ here singin’ to another tearjerker...
A bottle of whiskey and this melody...
The bartender, a real hard worker...
He tells me not to worry, you’ll come back to me...
But I don’t know... (Just another tearjerker)
I mean I let you go...
Honey, I don’t know... (Just another tearjerker)
I let you go...
You know I go out darlin’...
Almost every night...
And I keep searchin’ round for that someone that's right...
But it’s not the same honey...
They’ll never take your place...
‘Cause when I look into their wanting eyes...
I just see your face...
(CHORUS)
“Play it boys”
(BREAK)
“Hey can we get a couple more over here bartender”
“No, no thanks, it must be the dust in this place"
(CHORUS to end)

Well if this is a great honky tonker I don’t know what is. Says exactly what you want it to. Craft wise there could be a little more interesting way to say things here and there. You use “night” in both the verse and Ch, for example. I wouldn’t change the story at all. Overall a well thought out effort.
