Lou's Cafe [Live]

lyrics

"Lou's Cafe"

Junkie walks in about 5am
Has a seat and a look around
Sees this young, high-strung sorta businessman
Just-a starin' his breakfast down
On smiles and waves, the other says good day
And they both think at the same time
Coulda been me, Lord. Coulda been me, Lord
There but for your grace go I

Our waitress has been here for seventeen years
Cause she ain't got the guts to quit
And she hates the lights and she hates the smell
But hell, at least she's used to it
And there's a cop in today, thinks he owns the place
She gives him donuts and dirty looks
And all she really wants is a cigarette break
And a coupla million bucks

Lou's cafe
Where nothin' ever changes
You see the same folks every day
Lonely worn out faces
Here with nothin' much to do
When you just can't win
You come to Lou's

There's a man in the back with a dish and a rag
And he's lookin' a little too tense
Cause it's hard to make a living much less meet girls
With that lisp and that sex offense
But still he treasures those smaller pleasures
And he's wearin' a secret grin
Cause that bitter old waitress is wearin' his favorite
That flower-print dress again

Lou's cafe
Where nothin' ever changes
You see the same folks every day
Lonely worn out faces
Here with nothin' much to do
When you just can't win
You come to Lou's

Just up the highway
Ain't hard to find
Twenty-four-seven
Three-sixty-five
Just up the highway
Ain't hard to find
Twenty-four-seven
Three-sixty-five
