Tab With My Name On It

(album: Pelago - 2021)

Time to kill
Nowhere to be
So I walked to the bar down the street

Just one drink and I don't feel nothing
Bartender asks if I need something
We get to talking and I don't mean to
But I'm on to another, and I'm talking 'bout you

There's a tab with my name on it
And I'll be sitting here all night
TV with the game on it and jukebox playing songs that I like
But around drink three, that's when it hits me
That all I have without you with me
Is a tab with my name on it

Didn't come to forget
I was doing just fine
Wasn't trying to put you back in my mind

Then a girl walks in and she looks like you
And she sits by me on an empty stool
Then we start talking and we both smile
Tell her if she's gonna be here awhile

There's a tab with my name on it
And I'll be sitting here all night
I can tell that she wants to stay just by the look in her eyes
But around drink three, that's when it hits me
That all I have without you with me
Is a tab with my name on it

Can't you just come down?
Maybe just one beer
If it's all I get, baby, I don't care
You can break my heart for the millionth time
You don't have to, but if you drive by
There's a tab with my name on it
There's a tab with my name on it
