Tequila Bar

from Elyria by Billy Simons Jr.

lyrics

One stop he’s shopping around at this tequila bar
His eyes are roaming and they’re bloodshot
Who did she meet for the evening
Midnight the heat in the air’s feeling alright
The sweat on her back in the lowlight
The sound of her silently breathing

Dreaming and thinking up pictures in his mind
Drinking to forget the good times
Watching the light as it bends
One scar bleeding the life from his system
Feeling the pulse of her rhythm
True love was never his friend

It’s all wrong, the radio sings out a love song
He suddenly forgets her problems
Imagining all her perfection
Shut down, gets on the road that’s going uptown
Parks on her block during a breakdown
Why won’t she answer, he’s calling

Dreaming and thinking up pictures in his mind
Drinking to forget the good times
Watching the light as it bends
One scar bleeding the life from his system
Feeling the pulse of her rhythm
True love was never his friend

What a deadbeat, the smell of the bar in the front seat
Awake to the sounds of the morning
He’s never felt so alone
Steps out, fixes his hair as he looks round
But can’t find a sign of her car now
Looks like she never came home

Dreaming and thinking up pictures in his mind
Drinking to forget the good times
Watching the light as it bends
One scar bleeding the life from his system
Feeling the pulse of her rhythm
True love was never his friend
