American Honky Tonk Bar Association Lyrics

You know the tricks of the trade
You can hit the soft spots at the
center
Dish it out and take it back
Riding on the wave of your pompous
ways
But I know that sooner or later
You'll have to wring your lovely
hands in dismay
You'll go back to the board room
Add the numbers up and
turn the page at the end of the day
Where were you at the bleakest of
moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through the window
of opportunity came
The glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of a day in
the sun
You took the canvas of a life
Torn with the wind and the loss
could still pull you along
Pocketing images one by one
Of the past,
toward your future,
"A penny for your song"
Position memories
carefully
You dust them off at holidays
Then you'll go back to the board
room
And declare your passion for the new day
But where were you at the
bleakest of moments?
Where were you at the hint of success?
When through
the window of opportunity came
The glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of
a day in the sun
I don't think that it's me you've got in mind
Looks like
the blind still bluffing the blind
Lead me on and lay me down
'Cause
where were you?
Where were you at the bleakest of moments?
Where were you
at the hint of success?
When through the window of opportunity came
The
glimmer of a day in the sun
Glimmer of a day in the sun
