Sat out a card game in a motel room

Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night

They tell me it's all part of the deal i'm in

Well i close my eyes, put memory into sight



Every time i see you smile



Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking

An hour or so: i hope she's right on time

And you dream away your touchdown destination

Now single file and put yourself back in line



But oh, every time i see you smile



Now this old world don't give much for choosing

You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild

But i can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing

Just as long as i get to see you smile every once in a while
