Here At The Starlite

(album: Tennessee - 2002)

It's close to two a.m.
I'm giving up trying to find her
I lost my heart under the neon lights
At the starlite diner
She used to sit 'cross the table
Smoking her cigarettes
Well that was then
Now I've got this booth all to myself
I see her eyes I see her smile
I hear her laugh
Memories too close to home
For something else now coming back

I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the starlite diner one November night
And how I thought I could make it
Now I see that I might die
Alone
My heart gone here at the starlite

Jukebox don't know 'as the graveyard shifts
Shakes rattles and rolls'
Since the night I lost my heart
Sad songs are all I know
Waitress brings me a coke
Calls me "darling"
I thought about my girl
Drinking coffee, smoking her 'camel wide'
She was the sweetest in my world

I lost my heart by those neon lights
At the starlite diner one November night
And how I thought I could make it
Now I see that I might die
Alone
My heart gone here at the starlite
