He got lonely every time the cantina lights came up on the Indian Casino Queen |
|
'Cause he'd loved her from the time she'd been the waitress at the Mexican place where he'd left his keys |
|
She'd been there smiling at the lost and found |
|
Then he took her to see Three Dog Night |
|
They were playing at the fairgrounds |
|
Holding hands singing "Joy to the World" |
|
She was way too young but he did not care |
|
He was all right with cashing in a few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in |
|
He died a little bit each time the night came in |
|
And the stars fell over Michigan |
|
'Cause held loved her at the bar when he saw her dancing to |
|
"I Could Never Take the Place of your Man" |
|
Then he'd come over to his usual spot |
|
Soon they were making out at 3AM in the empty parking lot |
|
They lay together under the burnt out stars |
|
She never loved him back |
|
I wasn't even close |
|
But he was fine to just pretend |
|
That it was never gonna end |
|
And it was worth it just to know |
|
A little warmth before the snow |
