Horseshoe Lounge

D Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke G While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke D Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance G As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at me A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D Shuffleboard and neon light A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D Cigarettes and whiskey tonight D Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go' G As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance floor D I know it didn't work out the first time we tried G But I'd do anything to have you by my side again A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D Peel the label off a Miller Lite A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D I sit here thinking 'bout you every night G D Were you the one who faltered A D Was I the one who strayed G D A Maybe God left us out of the plans he made D So here's to missed beginnings and things that never start G For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart D When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to be G I get the urge to look you up see if you would come and meet me A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D Hey, buddy have you got a light A G D Down at the Horseshoe Lounge A G D One more and I'll be alright D Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke G (Sing slowly) While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
