Sponky Tonk Lyrics & Chords By The Pedestrians

SPONKY TONK (Music: Neufer/Lyrics: Smith)

Waking up to find the same old aches is a clear-cut way to see
You try to get away, but it’s the same old dream
Why can’t you turn and look at me?
Take one glance, then no regrets
Cause if we fall, you’re calling off all bets
Love is here, but what you do not know is the consequence of absence for the show

Step right up before it gets too late
You simply just can’t wait for all the clowns to go away, my darlin’
Leave me for tomorrow
Fills my mind with sorrow
Scare me up and down another day

Examine closely, please, the specimen that we have in Exhibit C
No longer give whatever things you feel you need
You never offered them to me
If you like, I have some pamphlets here
The ideal appeal is to be oh so near
One can see that we are running out
If only you had covered up your doubt
