Hotel Bar

A hitch in the Navy
then you married your high school sweetheart
couldn’t make a living singing country songs
so you put away your own dreams
and all those temptations
and you get to the office
where a good man belongs

Chorus

The dream becomes the world
when you are a young man
weekends in Biloxi
liberty in Thailand
promise your baby that
you will never ever go so far
you’ll be home tomorrow night
tonight you’re singing karaoke
in a hotel bar
a hotel bar

A business trip winds down
on a plane leaving Dallas
the pretty woman next to you
is reading the post
you borrow the sports page
get to talking about your kid
laughing at how alone you get
conducting business coast to coast

Chorus

The plane’s on arrival
you slept in each other’s air space
circling an armrest
innocently killing time
trying to hurry home the red-eye
talking about ballerinas
the old days and little league games
business cards and puppy dog names

Chorus
