Horshoe Lounge Lyrics - Broke Down - Slaid Cleaves

Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke 

While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke 

Raising up my bottle I looked for a chance 

As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at me 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

Shuffleboard and neon light 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

Cigarettes and whiskey tonight 

Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go' 

As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance floor 

I know it didn't work out the first time we tried 

But I'd do anything to have you by my side again. 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

Peel the label off a Miller light 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

I sit here thinking 'bout you every night. 

Were you the one who faltered 

Was I the one who strayed 

Maybe God left us out of the plans he made 

So here's to missed beginnings and things that never start 

For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart 

When I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to be 

I get the urge to look you up see if you would come and meet me 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

Peel the label off a miller light 

Down at the Horseshoe Lounge 

I sit here thinking 'bout you every night. 

Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke 

While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
