There's a young man in the corner, pl aying craz y all night long.
Quarters piled h igh upon the table.
And he orders W ild Turkey with a quick wi t and a smile.
He says "my darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable."
But his baseball cap, and his barroom rap te ll me a different story
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
Just another lonel y country bo y, grown w eary of the night.
Just another boy, w ith a sink fu ll of dirty dishes.
And where are you tonight ?
When I left you in m y dreams last night,
You promised me that w e would be breaking free.
Where a re you tonight ?
And he tells me of the bac kroads, and I will ride them all night long.
And the days o f fate and the moon will hang forever.
And a cloud of du st will ki ck up and ling er like a sun.
And the myth will g row about t he two who refused to surrender.
But a s I catch u s in the barroom mirror
with his arm aroun d my shoulder,
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar.
And as she stands to leave wi th a str anger by her side,
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar,
And where are you tonight ?
I don't think I ca n face tomorrow's light,
Not knowing if y ou'll be ther e to guide me.
And where are you tonight ?
I think I ca n make it through all right,
But I'd love to have you just one more time beside me.
