Shiver

By midnights voice

.
.
Yeah , you get a shiver in the dark
Your shadow hugs you tight
and in the meantime . . .

You get a colored drink
in a crowded bar
where you are a nobody . . .
So nobody is your name

The band is Dixie Up
They like to dixie down
four time and
Loud ! Loud ! Loud !

All the pixies ply you for their drinks
Sluring fifthy things . . .
Can't help it as you smile . . .

White breasted women
step up to the microphone
and they can
Sing ! Sing ! Sing !

The hour is getting late
Looking for a mate
as I slip off a golden ring

Competition is so tough
Get lucky , comes the rush . . .
way on down South
under lights , on Friday night

Much truth MV. I've frequented a few C&W bars down in Homestead, Fla. over the years and back in the 20th century. Never got lucky though until I met my wife and asked her for a dance during last call :) Cheers my friend! - Dan

I can understand that. I very often fly under the radar as nobody

I have seen married men flirt up a storm with their ring on. I was just as awkward as I could possibly be. I seem to be a different kind of nobody. I liked it though. No I've never been to a bar.
