The Watering Hole

In that smoky bar he sat again
bourbon and coke his only friend
Unshaven chin and squinted glare
he dreamed of a place, and wished he were there.
He's been on the road forever it seems
chasing the demons that call themselves dreams,
tired and hungry, feeling alone
he wants to give up and longs to come home.

(CHORUS)
Home is the watering hole
a place of strength, a place to go
when you're feeling down and weak
it will lift you to your feet
and set you back upon the path to your dream.

(VERSE)
In a club 'cross town she danced on the floor
knowing deep inside there had to be more,
each one night stand left her empty inside
she lay in bed and cried.

(CHORUS)
Home is the watering hole
a place of strength, a place to go
when you're feeling down and weak
it will lift you to your feet
and set you back upon the path to your dream.

Traveling through the desert of life
with the wind on your back, the sun too bright
praying each step you take is right
to lead you to your dream;
but the road isn't steady, the path is long
you made some choices and they were wrong,
thirsty and tired and all alone
you want to give up and go back home

(CHORUS)
Home is the watering hole
a place of strength, a place to go
when you're feeling down and weak
it will lift you to your feet
and set you back upon the path to your dream.
