Cowboy Junkies - Where Are You Tonight? Lyrics
Theres a young man in the corner playing crazy all night longQuarters piled high upon the tableHe orders wild turkey and with a quick wit and a smileHe says, my darling, youre the one Ill drape in sableBut his baseball cap and this bar-room rapTell me a different storyThat this is not my prince to grant all my wishesJust another lonely country-boy grown weary of the nightJust another boy with a sink full of dirty dishesWhere are you tonight?When I left you in my dreams last nightYou promised me that we would be breaking freeWhere are you tonight?He tells me of the back roadsAnd how well drive them all night longHow the days will fade and the moon will hang foreverAnd how the cloud of dust well kick up will linger like a songAnd the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrenderThen I catch us in the bar-room mirrorWith his arm around my shoulderThis girl I see has grown so unfamiliarAnd as she stands to leave with a stranger by her sideShe cant help but laugh at a life grown so peculiarWhere are you tonight?I dont think I can face tomorrows lightNot knowing if youll be there to guide meWhere are you tonight?Where are you tonight?I think that Ill make it through all right,But Id love to have you just one more time beside me
