"Droppin' by again" (C 2000)

(V1)
Rows of tangled hair 'n
all the cabbies fares 'n
one more broken barroom light
A frosted moon gleams
on an empty Jim Beam
why it looks like another one of those nights

(C1)
Where the moon goes crazy over the city
while a preacher waits for Sunday friends
I guess I've been in here
oh, a time or two before
Good to know I'm droppin' by again

(V2)
Lonesome hearted girls in
tainted yellow curls 'n
spotted glasses on the bar
A laughin compromise with
less than starry eyes
tellin' me I've gone a bit too far

(C2)
And the moon goes crazy over the city
while a preacher waits for Sunday friends
I guess I've seen her here
oh, a time or two before
Good to know I'm pardoned once again

(B)
Though I'll fade to a dusty grey
in your colored eyes
as the last call brings us near
to closin' time
all I'll ask is one small favor
as I'm starin' across at you
pretend for just a moment you were mine

(V3)
A token chance of course
grabbin' rings from a wooden horse
well, I guess I've known it all along
Just tryin' to find a someone who
won't mind a ticket to
a one time rendezvous before were gone

(C3)
But the moon's gone crazy over the city
while a preacher waits for Sunday friends
I guess I've been in there
oh, a time or two before
Good to know I'm droppin' by again

Guessin' we'll be droppin' by again
