lexington - robby hecht lyrics

Loading...

i stopped into a roadside bar by the georgia shore
when i saw a pretty lady floating softly across the floor
i bravely strode up to her, but before i even tried
a man tapped on my shoulder, said, “i see you’ve met my bride”

i stuttered an apology, but he said not to fret
so i bought a round and so did he and soon our tongues were wet
i said i was bound for lexington, and i asked about his past
he turned to face me squarely and set down his empty glass

he said he’d just come from lexington, down through caroline
he’d meant to soon return again but now he’d changed his mind
for he had met his true love here and married her this day
he wished me luck in lexington, and i was on my way

in four weeks time, a sign for lexington said i’d arrived
i found a scene and sat next to a girl with lonely eyes
we spoke until the barman nearly swept us from the bar
and i knew i was in love with her by the brightness of the stars

i asked if she would be my girl ‘neath the kentucky moon
but she said she loved a traveling man who’d sworn he’d come home soon
she faithfully described him, and my heart, it almost tore
for i knew he was that groom i’d met down south a month before

i asked myself, oh should i speak? for if i dare refrain
then she will hope forever here, and i’ll never hope again
but i could not break that young girl’s heart, so i left her there to pray
and now two lonely people wander lexington today
