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
One 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"

And our waitress has been here for 17 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

At Lou's Cafe
Nothin' ever changes
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 s 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

At Lou's Cafe
Nothin' ever changes
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
