9. Another Evening

You've got Vegas eyes so it's no surprise
While your garlic kills, my garlic cures
I bet you never gambled for this
You dissed my trip. I fell for yours

I'm dressed in my brand new digs
The band sounds good, but you're not here
So I rehearse my lines
When the day comes I can tuck these tears away

But that's just a whole other evening with you
I am not really feeling this second Sunday in June

Look at you, you've got steps on your stairs and stools on your chairs
It's never easy with you
You used to bring in a few good things
but now I can't tell your Nina from your Pinta, from your Santa Maria

But that's just a whole other evening with you
You say you're not really feeling this final Sunday in June

And it's too far
It's just too hard
For the sake of my past, I'm gonna put it away

You've got Vegas eyes so it's no surprise
While your garlic kills, my garlic cures
