Lyrics The Dive Bar in My Heart - The Wallflowers

The Dive Bar in My Heart

Once in a while you still come around
Look me over and you look me down
It’s just you and that lazy barback
And your favorite little clown
You’re a long walk from Avenue A
You’re a train ride outta your way
You slip in like smoke outta your coat
With a joke that doesn’t play
That’s all she wrote now I’m on my way
In the dive bar in my heart
Strange to see you on this side of town
Not your people or your kind of crowd
Just nobodies here drinking flat beer
Away from the battleground
There’s no sleigh bells in winter time
There’s no top shelf or decent wine
It’s another slow jam same awful band
It’s the last stop the end of line
You’re on the list I’m easy to find
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
Every dog has its day
Then don’t I too get a bone
I’d follow you down to Hell in a boat
If that’s where you’re going
If we don’t hang together baby
Then we just hang on our own
Now there’s snow coming down on the steps
And the locals have already left
I’ll be here late I’ll close up and wait
With your perfume still on my neck
Now the whole world’s awake and I’ve overslept
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
