[Slaid Cleaves - Horseshoe Lounge lyrics]
The table and broke
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance
As you set your glass down on the
Bar with a glance at me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Shuffleboard and neon light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Cigarettes and whiskey tonight
Ricky said 'She's out of your league
Let her go'
As I watched you pick your partner
On that old dance floor
I know it didn't work out
The first time we tried
But, I'd do anything to have
You by my side again
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night
Were you the one who faltered
Was I the one who strayed
Maybe God left us out of the plans he made
So here's to missed beginnings and
Things that never start
For these are the ghosts that
Run around in my heart
When I see that where I'm going
Isn't where I want to be
I get the urge to look you up see
If you would come and meet me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a miller light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking 'bout you every night
Ricky got the quarters for
The table and broke
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
