Sat out a card game in a motel room
don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night
they tell me it's all part of the deal i'm in
well i close my eyes, put memory into sight
Every time i see you smile
Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking
an hour or so: i hope she's right on time
and you dream away your touchdown destination
now single file and put yourself back in line
But oh, every time i see you smile
Now this old world don't give much for choosing
you can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild
but i can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing
just as long as i get to see you smile every once in a while
