John Prine - The Torch Singer Lyrics

Font:

Align:

The night club was burning

From the torch singers song

And the sweat was floodin her eyes

The catwalk squeaked

neath the bartenders feet

And the smoke was too heavy to rise

Chorus:

She sang of the love that I left her

And of the woman that shell never be

Made me feel like the buck and a quarter

That I paid em to listen and see

I paid em to listen and see

I was born down in kansas

neath the october sky

Work the day shift from seven to three

And the only relief that I receive

Is nearer my God to thee

She constantly throws me off timing

Leaves me standing both ***** and bare

Makes me feel like the sunday funnies

After everythings gone off the air

Everythings gone off the air

I picked through the ashes

Of the torch singers song

And I ordered my money a round

For whiskey and pain

Both taste the same

During the time they go down

(repeat chorus)
