Lyrics
THE NEON SIGNS ARE DARK AGAIN
The tavern was crowded so there was a chance
A few girls would say yes if I asked them to dance
A tall blond was laughing with friends in the corner
I caught her eye and waved then she staggered over
As any fool could see not a round had she missed
A man should be able to do better than this
When the neon signs are dark again
When the empties have been cleared away
When the chairs are stacked on the tables
Will I leave alone 'til another day?
I spotted a waitress who was serving some drinks
I held up my empty and flashed her a wink
When she brought a fresh one I whispered in her ear
"When the tavern closes let me take you home Dear
She spun away from me but I could hear her hiss
"A girl should be able to do better than this"
(repeat chorus)
You can't take a girl to church on Sunday
Unless you hook up on a Saturday night
(repeat chorus)
Well, the neon signs are dark again
And I left alone 'til another day
