lyrics

OUTSIDE OF VALENTINE’S, NASHVILLE

Down in the Greyhound station
Doug waits for a bus to take him
All the way back to Omaha
He’s pawned his dreams and his guitar
Just to buy his ticket home again
He laughs ‘This coffee tastes like cigarettes,
and now it’s snowing -
What a time to be alive!’

Outside of Valentine’s
The snow is falling down
An old man sits across the street
Huddled on the ground
He tries to kill his hunger pangs
Sucking on a stone
While in the churches people pray
‘Bring our boys back safely home’

‘Word is Jermain Lascelles died
Somewhere over on the East Side
Grew up with him in Mount Juliet’
A man with his arm in a plaster says
‘He lost his father at an early age
He married his childhood sweetheart there,
then eighteen months later
She shoots him down’

Outside of Valentine’s
The snow is falling down
An old man sits across the street
Huddled on the ground
He tries to kill his hunger pangs
Sucking on a stone
And there’s stickers stuck on pick-up trucks
‘Bring our boys back safely home’

Inside I watch you swaying
To the music that they’re playing
Standing there with your friend
You move self-consciously and then
Someone drops a tray of glasses
And when you look up I catch your eye
And when you smile
I think I might just be in love

Outside of Valentine’s
The snow is falling down
An old man sits across the street
Huddled on the ground
He tries to kill his hunger pangs
Sucking on a stone
And no-one cares he was once a boy
That they brought back safely home

Behind the bar mixing cocktails
The barman asks his friend for details
About the girl he met last night
He says ‘I feel like I’ve been in a fight’
And the barman laughs and he says
‘They say you never hear the bomb that kills you’
As I kiss you there for the very first time

Outside of Valentine’s
Outside of Valentine’s
Outside of Valentine’s
Outside of Valentine’s
