Billiard Player Song

Lyrics

[Verse] He cursed like a billiard player His racks his stick upon the ground, he Waddles blind like an old man should be Shakes a lot like an old man should Off and on he's been here Probably twenty years Off and on he's been here Guess he'll never go home [Chorus] I guess it's the comfortable chair And company, you can't buy company It's a frame of mind It's people who've been through what you've been through And a cigar A good cigar now and again [Verse] Had his heart broken By a little girl, she was small Had his heart broken By a little girl, she was small Had his heart broken You would never expect a thing When he was a young man It was like an event [Chorus] He promised her anything He never had to deliver He promised her everything Ask yourself if you could do better He promised her everything She caught on [Bridge] A lot of people say she's crazy But I know, I know a lot of people And I think, I think she's alright! [Verse] He cursed like a billiard player His racks his stick upon the ground And she would ask him She was young and she didn't know Why things were like this And not another way [Chorus] He lied to her He lied to her With a perfectly straight face She believed him
