Hope

I had a date for a quarter to eight
It's midnight, she must be running late
The bar is empty except for me
That's when the bartender had an epiphany

Another beer, another shot
Some folks say I drink a lot

Johnny, she stood you up
She's played you for a fool
Now you're just sitting on your bar stool
Trying to play it cool

Come on, it's time to go home
It's time to go to bed
It's time to get that stupid girl
Out of your head

Another beer, another shot
Some folks say I drink a lot

Well, I hear what you're saying
But one more round
Maybe later she'll come back around

Hope springs eternal, that's what I believe
Good night, bartender, it's time for me to leave

Another beer, another shot
Some folks say I drink a lot

Well, I went to my car
Had a final cigarette
Something told me, "Don't leave yet"

She may appear as if in a dream
She may be part of God's grand scheme

Another beer, another shot
Some folks say I drink a lot

Another beer, another shot
Some folks say I drink a lot
