D

It's napkin numbers from a barroom queen

Bm

That leads to paper roses and dime store rings

G D

A match made at the Midnight Rodeo

D

It's an angel sent straight from town

Bm

To bring this old cowboy down

G G/F# A

Off my high horse that I've been riding too long

Chorus:

G

Yeah, I've been looking for a lifetime stand

D

Down at the neon promised land

Em

But no angel waiting at the pearly gate

G

Just a cover charge and ten minute wait

D

Just to go inside and drink all alone

Bm

Dance with a woman, try to take her home

G E7

Cause I've been spending all my time

G A D

Lookin' for a lifetime stand, one night at a time

It's make-up promises and lipstick lies

That hide the little things but can't disguise

In her eyes a shadow of the truth

I was dressed for love in a silver belly hat

She came like this and left like that

It doesn't add up but I was counting on someone new

Chorus

Bridge:

G A

Well I'm just a single thirty-something man

Bm G

Coupled with all the hope I can stand

G A Bm

I've got a half a mind to go insane

G A

But you never know what you never know

Bm G

So I’ll just keep on dancin' and holdin' on

G A G A

Could be two steps from the pain

Chorus
