Lyric

Swingin’ doorsSawdust floorsA heartache drowns as the whiskey poursThere’s a hole in the wallFrom some free for allThe ringin’ crack of that old cue ball
I’ve been fallin’ in hereFor what seems like yearsWhere the tears and the lonely belongAnd wonder what’s going onBeyond that blue neon
I hear tell there’s people out there who don’t knowWhat losin’ you meansThey don’t have a heartThat just falls apartAt the mention of your name
I heard they pretendThe world didn’t endRight when I knew you were goneI guess life still goes onBeyond that blue neon
I hear tell there’s people out there who don’t knowWhat losin’ you meansThey don’t have a heartThat just falls apartAt the mention of your name
But it’s a quarter ’til twoAnd I don’t have a clueAs to what I’ll do from now ’til dawnI wonder what’s going onBeyond that blue neon
Lord, what’s going onBeyond that blue neon
