lyrics

everybody’s talking to their honey sweet
everybody’s loving but me
me i’m sitting lonely in the corner of an old piano bar
and the closest thing i got to a baby
she’s up north a thousand miles
but a thousand miles ain’t nothing, you got a reason to go

i’m just a tired old bar room jack and she’s my midnight run
we’ve been singing love songs for too long
and how long she has been away, i don’t know
i could pack my bags and grab my only hat
take off in the morning with the sun
because i do believe that i have got a reason to go

old mattingly and eli can take the trouble off your mind,
if only for a moment with their song
but the company of men is beginning to wear thin
i feel that it’s a drag and i can’t see what’s the use
of telling yourself that you ain’t got the time
sometimes you just find yourself itching with a reason to go

out upon those worried streets away from which you hide
there’s a vendor on every corner of your mind
selling front row tickets to the real-time midnight alley circus show
where everyone’s a star when they surrender to the stage
you can set your house in order by the door
and though nothing is for free, they'll only ask you for a reason to go

but don’t let me mislead you, lest you be denied
a reason ain’t the easiest to find
these things come and go away just about as easy as they please
you might find one tomorrow, but then it’s gone with yesterday
today is like the men inside these bars
whose elusive chances always find themselves a reason to go

so me i’m heading up to meet my honey sweet
to see if we can’t settle up a deal
see if we can’t find ourselves some tickets to she show
so start lifting up those lips, cause i’m bound to make you smile
i’ve been making you frown for too long my babe
and every slip of downturned lip that your smile has ever hid whenever you were feeling low
can always be forgotten when you find it a reason to go
yes, it can always be forgotten once you’ve found it a reason to go
