When the sun goes down on my side of town
That lonesome feeling comes to my door
And the whole world turns blue
There's a rundown bar 'cross the railroad tracks
I got a table for two way in the back
Where I sit alone and think of losing you
I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of a neon moon
Now if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
I think of two young lovers running wild and free
I close my eyes and sometimes see
You in the shadows of this smoke-filled room
No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies that I've lied
Telling my poor heart she'll come back someday
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon
Oh, if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
The jukebox plays on, drink by drink
And the words of every sad song seem to say what I think
And its hurt inside of me, ain't never gonna end
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon
Oh, if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
Oh, if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
I remember thinkin' for a country girl
She went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a sloe gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said "I like livin' like this".
So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
A few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said 'he rebuilds engines and his name is earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque-wrench
I whispered "Honey let's just go on home
Have some onion rings and watch TV"
As I walked her to the truck
Earl was crying "Don't you leave me"
I told him, this here's the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
This here's the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
She's the queen
She's the queen
