Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke while I pulled hard on the sorrow and smokeRaising up my bottle I looked for a chance as he set your glass down on the bar with a glance at meDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, shuffleboard and neon lightDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, cigarettes and whiskey tonightRicky said she's out of your league, let her go as I watch you pick your partner on that old dance floorI know it didn't work out the first time we tried, but I'd do anything to have you by my side againDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, peel the label off a Miller lightDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, I sit here thinking about you every nightAre you the one who faltered? Was I the one who strayed?Maybe God left us out of the plans he madeSo here's to missed beginnings and things that never startFor these are the ghosts that run around in my heartWhen I see that where I'm going isn't where I want to beI get the urge to look you up, see if you would come and meet meDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, hey buddy have you got a light?Down at the Horseshoe Lounge, one more and I'll be alrightDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, peel the label off a Miller lightDown at the Horseshoe Lounge, I sit here thinking about you every nightRicky got the quarters for the table and brokeWhile I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
