This One Gets My Vote
Stonewall Jackson · Waterloo [2004]
(Larry Kingston)
I just found out where you go each and ev'ry night
Where the drinks are high and the lights are low
And the morales match the lights
Where the music's loud but still the crowd drowns out ev'ry note
Of all the places I wish you weren't this one gets my vote.
This one gets my vote of the last place you would be dear
But I've looked ev'rywhere so I know you had to be here
I found you now I should be glad but I guess I missed that boat
For of all the sad sights I have seen this one is my vote.
Instrumental ---
My eyes would get my vote as the saddest and most misty
For I just saw a stranger kiss the lips that used to kiss me
Now here I stand with tremblin' hands my heart up in my throat
For the saddest heart that's ever beat this one is my vote.
For the saddest heart that's ever beat this one is my vote...
I just found out where you go each and ev'ry night
Where the drinks are high and the lights are low
And the morales match the lights
Where the music's loud but still the crowd drowns out ev'ry note
Of all the places I wish you weren't this one gets my vote.
This one gets my vote of the last place you would be dear
But I've looked ev'rywhere so I know you had to be here
I found you now I should be glad but I guess I missed that boat
For of all the sad sights I have seen this one is my vote.
Instrumental ---
My eyes would get my vote as the saddest and most misty
For I just saw a stranger kiss the lips that used to kiss me
Now here I stand with tremblin' hands my heart up in my throat
For the saddest heart that's ever beat this one is my vote.
For the saddest heart that's ever beat this one is my vote...
