Micky's Bar

(album: Damn Love - 2023)

Same old scene, same ol' faces
Drop in for drinks at Micky's bar
And that neon sign is just like a magnet
For all the hopeful and lonely hearts
Yeah

Bobby had a dream playing for the Yankees
But two bad knees and he's a junkyard car
Sheri's serving drinks, the '95 prom queen
Yeah, she says looks will only get you so far
Yeah

Lost in the haze, off in the corner
There sits Jane in a new used dress
She orders up a sky dry martini
And why she's alone is anyone's guess

Oh my, make it a double
Sweet Jane's shooting me a smile
Oh my, my heart's in trouble
Sweet Jane wants to stay awhile

Jane takes a sip, pulls a little closer
'Til there ain't a lot of space between
And her sweet perfume cuts through the ashtrays
And those deep blue eyes have me lost at sea

Oh my, make it a double
Sweet Jane's shooting me a smile
Oh my, my heart's in trouble
Sweet Jane wants to stay awhile

Oh yeah
Oh, sweet Jane
My heart's in trouble
Sweet Jane

Her smile lights the dark as she pulls out a picture
Her pride and joy, a little boy named Jude
Tough way to start when you're trying to just be sixteen
But she wouldn't trade that boy for the moon
Yeah

Oh my, make it a double
'Cause sweet Jane wants to stay awhile
Oh my, my heart's in trouble
'Cause sweet Jane wants to stay awhile

Same old scene, same ol' faces
Last call for drinks, it's closing time
Micky's wiping down, Sheri makes the coffee
For all the cold and lonely hearts
