LONELY CITY

from MONA LISA SMILE by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

In a bar room in a place called Lonely City
She sits there drinking wine and cheap champagne
And she gets so drunk sometimes, well, she ain't pretty
And another drink sure helps to hide the pain.

She's been sitting there, they say, for much too long now
Folks who work there know the girl by name
And they swear somewhere, somebody hurt her somehow
And another drink sure helps to hide the pain.

Chorus
Yeah, she sits there all alone in Lonely City
And she plays the good times through her mind again
Then she cries a tear and smiles for her self-pity
And another drink sure helps to hide the pain.

As the lights go down at night in Lonely City
She sits there, brokenhearted and alone
Then the barman calls last drinks 'cause he ain't busy
Then she heads off to an empty place called home.

Chorus
