Hard Luck Cafe Lyrics

All day I face

The old barren waste

And long for the taste of cold beer

My throat is burning dry

And my soul's a-cryin

For awww~ refuge from here

In there you don't see

Where grasslands run free

And winds on the treetops will play

Beats bein' alone

Just a quick getaway

Down to the Hard Luck Cafe

Repeat intro guitar/piano hook:

My toes are sore and burned

Day into night I yearn

Soft music~ for to carry me along

The ballad of a gringo

Ridin' miles of burning (or desert) sand

Through tears of an old-timey song

Hit the trail in '79

Left the ol' gal behind

Rode lonely~ with his mind in a fray

To the shadowws he'll sway

To the bottle he'll pray

To meet her at the Hard Luck Cafe

Choral: awww it's betterrr than being alone

Slip away~ where trouble has no name

Outsiiide eeeach looks diff'rent

But in their hearts they're all one-in-the-same

That gal I left behind

Still wailing on my mind

The rain will fall

Wild night will call

The world won't find me

I can leave lost love behind me

And the soft high wooden bar would be all

If she hadn't gone wrong

It'd be no high or lonesome song

I set there with little to say

Choral: (aww) it may be hell

Or just the lobby of a big hotel

All the same a Hard Luck Cafe x2
