D
It's napkin numbers from a barroom queen
Bm
That leads to paper roses and dime store rings
G D
A match made at the Midnight Rodeo
D
It's an angel sent straight from town
Bm
To bring this old cowboy down
G G/F# A
Off my high horse that I've been riding too long
Chorus:
G
Yeah, I've been looking for a lifetime stand
D
Down at the neon promised land
Em
But no angel waiting at the pearly gate
G
Just a cover charge and ten minute wait
D
Just to go inside and drink all alone
Bm
Dance with a woman, try to take her home
G E7
Cause I've been spending all my time
G A D
Lookin' for a lifetime stand, one night at a time
It's make-up promises and lipstick lies
That hide the little things but can't disguise
In her eyes a shadow of the truth
I was dressed for love in a silver belly hat
She came like this and left like that
It doesn't add up but I was counting on someone new
Chorus
Bridge:
G A
Well I'm just a single thirty-something man
Bm G
Coupled with all the hope I can stand
G A Bm
I've got a half a mind to go insane
G A
But you never know what you never know
Bm G
So I’ll just keep on dancin' and holdin' on
G A G A
Could be two steps from the pain
Chorus
