Cigarettes and whiskey tonight
Ricky said 'She's out of your league, let her go'
As I watched you pick your partner on that old dance
floor
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried
But I'd do anything to have you by my side again.

Maybe God left us out of the plans he made
So here's to missed beginnings and things that never

be
I get the urge to look you up see if you would come
and meet me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Hey Buddy have you got a light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
One more and I'll be alright
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinkin' 'bout you every night.
