The Dive Bar in My Heart Songtext
von The Wallflowers

Once in a while you still come around
You look me over and you look me down
It′s just you and that, that lazy bar back
And your favorite little clown

You're a long walk from Avenue A
You′re a train ride outta your way
You slip in like smoke outta your coat
With a joke that doesn't play
Now that's all she wrote now I′m on my way
In the dive bar in my heart

Strange to see you on this side of town
It′s not your people or your kind of crowd
Just nobody's here drinking flat beer
Away from the battleground


There′s no sleigh bells in winter time
There's no top shelf or decent wine
It′s another slow jam, same awful band
It's the last stop, the end of line
You′re on the list I'm easy to find
In the dive bar in my heart

In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart

Every dog has its day
Then don't I too get a bone
I′d follow you down to Hell in a boat
If that′s where you're going
Now we don′t hang together baby
Then we'll just hang on our own

Now there′s snow coming down on the steps
And the locals have already left
I'll be here late, I′ll close up and wait
With your perfume still on my neck
Now the whole world's awake and I've overslept
In the dive bar in my heart

In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
