John Wesley Harding - Election Night lyrics

I met you on election night

As we cried over our beers

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

It's raining

On Election Night

You fight, you fight and nothing changes

And when it does the payback's worse

We arrived here in limo

We drove home in a hearse

And we are none the wiser

I guess that we're just not so bright

So I'll see you

Yes I'll see you

Next Election Night

The balloons look so deflated

As they burst and float on down

It's been 4 years that we've waited

For those balloons to hit the ground

Looks like you backed a real loser

Who thinks that life is black and white

But he'll be back again

We'll be back again

Next Election Night
