Tavern Stars

Hmm

35 years of dust on my boots

And a heart that's tangled up

Deep in the roots

Sittin' in the corner

Where the neon glows low

Watching the ice in my glass

Melt down slow

Yeah, the clock on the wall

Says it's way past time

But I'm still chasing

This last broken rhyme

Oh, the night is long and the smoke is thick

And the years go by just a little too quick

But I got this guitar and I got my scars

Just another lonely soul under the tavern stars

Under the stars

Spent my youth running, trying to find a spark

Now I'm just a man talkin' to the dark

The bomber knows my name

Knows what to pour

He don't ask no questions

About the girl at the door

Just a little hum

Of the tubes in the end

And the shadows dancing

By the street side lamp

Oh, the night is long

And the smoke is thick

And the years go by

Just a little too quick

But I got this guitar and I've got my scars

Just another lonely soul under the tavern stars

Mmm, just another lonely soul

Turban stars shining down on me

Mmm, mmm

Mmm
