about

Inspired by a cold night spent in Bishop, California, in a little bar near where Barbecue Bills used to be. Wow, I just checked online, and it's still there. Must get back there someday, pop a few cholesterol pills and dig into some of those onion rings.

lyrics

Broken Arrow above the bar
Reminds us all of who we are
A neon sign, uneven stools
And a few of my favorite fools

I talk up Mary, an old friend
We have some history from way back when
Which keeps us close, which keeps things strange
As if we’re both afraid to change

Often times when I’m too alone
You’re as far as the moon, as close as the phone
Love is something we might have known
If we tried, If we’d only tried

This town is small
More cows than cars
Seven churches and seven bars
And this one’s ours, our second home
At least we got someplace to go

We say tomorrow’s another day
That’s a lie we like to say
We like to say we’re doing well
Another lie we tend to tell

It’s getting late, the lights come on
We help each other put our jackets on
Then face the chill and wave good night
And trust we both get home alright
