Last Call
I've been here since the start of the night
lonley and nursing this premium beer
No one would think me the confident one
For many nights I've hung around here
Doing my best to smile my shy smile
Wishing and hoping you'll see it dear?
As I desperately imagine
you venturing near
A quiet voice
not meant for a noisy bar
I'm not a rich guy
I don't have a fancy car
If you want respect
I'll treat you like a star
Others might go further
But I'll be where you are
Good guys don't need to finish last
Gaze at me, so it won't be true
Those gorgeous eyes and pretty face
Grant me the gift of sitting next to you
You'll make this cowboy a happy guy
Just a bit of time, a minute or two
I can see a bit of sadness in your brown eyes
I'm willing to listen to all that makes you blue
Don't rush away, take your time
With you lady I'm more then content
Let me sit here and enjoy that lovely laugh
I may sound corny but it sounds heaven sent
Nothing is to trivial, tell me about it all
Moment to moment, a night well spent
Until the bartender tells us that it's "last call."
You smile at me and say "I like how this went!"
I ask the bartender to bring a few more drinks
This has gone a whole lot better then I thought
You, pretty lady, Who I admired from afar
You seem to like this quiet Cowboy a lot
You are oh so sweet and easy to talk to
And my stuttering tongue is not tied in a knot
You whisper, "If you have just a few hundreds left,
there are things I can do that will please you a lot!"
