Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up

 On the Indian Casino Queen Cus he’d loved her from the time she’d been the

 waitress at the Mexican place where he’d left his keys

 She’d been there smile’n at the lost and found

/ ( )

Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin’ at the fairgrounds

 Holdin’ hands singin “Joy to the World”

 She was way too young

 But he did not care

He was alright with cashin’ in

A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in

Riff

Well he

died a little bit each time the night came in

 And the stars fell over Michigan Cus he’d loved her at the ball when he saw her

dancing to “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man”

 Then he’d come over to his usual spot

( )

Soon they were makin’ out at three AM in the empty parking lot

 They lay together under the burnt out stars

 She never loved him back

 It wasn’t even close

But he was fine with just pretend

that it was never gonna end

and it was worth it just to know

A little warmth before the snow
