John Wesley Harding - Election Night (Another Version) lyrics

I met you on Election Night

As we cried over our beer

Nothing you could do would cheer me up

We broke up later that year

How come you and I aren't winners?

Why weren't we born the other side?

And it's raining

And It's raining

On Election Night

You fight, you fight but nothing changes

And when it does the payback's worse

We arrived here in the limo

We're going back home in a hearse

You know we're leaving none the wiser

I guess that we're just not that bright

So I'll see you

I'll see you

Next Election Night

These balloons look so deflated

As they slowly float on down

It's been 4 years we've been waiting

For those balloons to hit the ground

It looks like you backed a real loser

Who thinks that life is black and white

And it's raining

Yes it's raining

On Election Night
