Once in a while you still come around You look me over and you look me down It's just you and that, that lazy bar back 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 Now 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 It's not your people or your kind of crowd Just nobody's 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 Now we don't hang together baby Then we'll 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
