Emerson Drive - Hopeless Guy lyrics

rate me

Well it's 10 pm and all the ladies are looking fine

I'd rather trade off my old steel guitar

just to taste her sweet red wine.

Cause I'm a rusty boy with a nasty toy

that would be my heart,

Just a few shots of that Yukon Jack

You might be my sweet push start.

CHORUS

It's just another hopeful night

for a hopeless guy.

It's just another hopeful night

for a hopeless guy.

Well I stepped out on that dance floor

I smelled honey in the air

When I spotted that queen of diamonds

with her ultraviolet stare

I said hey easy come easy go it's my latest groove,

but it don't make things much easier when some are born to lose.

CHORUS

Well I sat down at my buddy's table

and I bought another round

They say it's better off to go and loosen up

before you run and get shut down.

So I made my move across that room

to my sweet little sugar pie

I winked and I asked her for a dance

She said I could make you fly.

She said my boyfriend's here and

it really would be nice,

but he doesn't want me dancing with you hopeless guys.

CHORUS

Well I grabbed her hand and I kissed her cheek

Man I sure did fly, but it was out across

that dance floor with her boyfriend and two black eyes.

It was an easy come but a tougher go

but I guess that's nothing new

as that sexy waitress iced my head

someone tell me this is true.

I'm getting really sick and tired

of this hopeless fight,

I'm just another hopeless guy on a lucky night.
