Bilingual
Brady was a baseball star
Til he struck out and took his car and drove away
Sissy lost her little boy
Hitch-hiked up to Illinois, so they say
Then it rained so hard that Mary tried
To take her life with suicide
And disappear just like the thunder
You ask around and no-one knows
Where they went or what they do
But you wonder, I know you wonder
Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They're in need of a mindbender
I'm a bartender
At the end of the day
I'm all they've got
Hope on the rocks
Charlie's wife filed for divorce
And Charlie fought a court of horses
and now he's riding a van
Upside down and couldn't pay
They... mobile home away
And we ain't seen her since
Larry's long time fiancé
Got kicked out of the P.T.A.
And moved her kids back east with someone else
All and the ones you used to know
Don't drop in or say hello
But you ask yourself
I know you ask yourself
Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They're in need of a mindbender
I'm a bartender
At the end of the day
I'm all they've got
Hope on the rocks
Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
They're in need of a mindbender
I'm a bartender
At the end of the day
I'm all they've got
Hope on the rocks
