Lyrics
(instrumental with buildup)
(Verse) Scoured these dusty streets, worn out my lonely shoes Been searchin' for a love, somethin' to pay the blues Dim bar lights paint shadows, faces in every haze But all the hearts I see, they're locked in a lover's daze
(Chorus 2x) Can I have this dance, with a smile and a hopeful plea? But the answer's always "taken," another heartbreak for me So I clink my glass against the counter, a toast to one-man blues Waltzin' with myself, 'til the mornin' light peeks through
(Verse 2) Caught a glimpse of laughter, across a crowded room Thought maybe this time, baby, fate would finally bloom Walked up with a swagger, hat tilted low and cool But another arm took her and i stood there like a fool
(instrumental with buildup and climax)
like a fool..
Oohhh i said like a fool...
(instrumental with buildup)
Oh Maybe I'm a shadow, a melody unheard Maybe love's a train I missed, leavin' me with just a word But this lonely ain't stoppin' me, from shakin' what I've got This one-man band's still playin', even if the crowd is not
(instrumental with buildup and climax)
(instrumental with buildup)
(Chorus 2x) Can I have this dance, with a smile and a hopeful plea(plea)? But the answer's always "taken,"(taken again) another heartbreak for me So I clink my glass (ooo) against the counter, a toast to one-man blues Waltzin' with myself (yeah), 'til the mornin' light peeks through
(instrumental with buildup and climax)

Oh Maybe I'm a shadow(lonely shadow), a melody unheard Maybe love's a train I missed, (ahh)leavin' me with just a word But this lonely ain't stoppin' me(noo), from shakin' what I've got This one-man band's still playin',(oh yeah) even if the crowd is not (im gonna push through)
