Hope On The Rocks

Brady was a baseball star
 Til he struck out and took his car and drove away
 
 Sissy lost her little boy
 Hitch-hiked up to Illinois, so they say
 Then it rained so hard that Mary tried
 To take her life with suicide
 And disappear just like the thunder
 You ask around and no-one knows
 Where they went or what they do
 But you wonder, I know you wonder
 Where do they go?
 They come here
 To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
 They're in need of a mindbender
 I'm a bartender
 At the end of the day
 I'm all they've got

 Charlie's wife filed for divorce
 And Charlie fought a court of horses
 and now he's riding a van
 
 Upside down and couldn't pay
 They... mobile home away
 And we ain't seen her since
 Larry's long time fiancé
 Got kicked out of the P.T.A.
 And moved her kids back east with someone else
 All and the ones you used to know
 Don't drop in or say hello
 But you ask yourself
 I know you ask yourself
 Where do they go?
 They come here
 To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
 They're in need of a mindbender
 I'm a bartender
 At the end of the day
 I'm all they've got
