Slaid Cleaves - Horseshoe Lounge lyrics

Ricky got the quarters for 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 gla** 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
