Love's Stage Erasure
Been about a month this time
but I still see my stool at the end of the bar is empty
no reserved sign, but everyone knows,
the bar stool at the end is mine
Bartender
pour me another
this time we are drinking to never
never again
will I let her back in
Old Joe just smiles as he walks toward me
he knows my usual
a shot of JD and a beer chaser,
My blues eraser
We know each other well
me and JD
our relationship has grown over the years
together we have bottled many a tear
always ending up just this side of empty
Bartender
pour me another
this time we are drinking to forever
forever we are done
she ain't the one
Old Joe just smiles as he heads my way
he knows my usual
a shot of JD and a beer chaser,
my misery eraser
The place is dark with a few who feel the same
just faces, no names
each with their own stool close to closing time
drowning sorrows just like mine
Bartender
pour me one more
and while your at it
pour them one too,
this time we will drink to tomorrow
a day without sorrow
Old Joe doesn't smile this time as he looks to the clock
he knows we are running out of luck
time for one more JD and a beer chaser,
our heartache eraser
Only been about 3 weeks this time
but Old Joe and my stool are still there
like old friends who still care
Bartender
pour me another
this time we are drinking to a song
a song that never ends
because I let her back in
Old Joe just smiles as he walks my way
he knows my usual
a shot of JD and a beer chaser,
My Erasure...
