|
You walked out and my world caved in
|
I couldn't get back on my feet again
|
I tried self-help books, even meditation
|
I searched the want ads out of desperation
|
|
The classified said, "Attention Broken Hearts
|
Meet at Murphy's Lounge at 8:00 sharp."
|
I got there early and the man at the door said
|
"We've got the cure you've been searching for."
|
He handed me a list and said, "Here's what you need
|
The rules of the 12 step recovery."
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Friday nights
|
Neon Lights
|
Find a party crowd
|
Jukebox
|
Let it rock
|
Let your hair down
|
Howl at the moon
|
Shoot a little pool
|
Get out on the dance floor with somebody new
|
Let the tables turn
|
Let the bridges burn
|
Let go of the memory
|
That's the mend-a-broken-heart
|
Make-a-new-start, 12 step recovery
|
|
Well, I've gotta admit, I had my doubts at first
|
But I figured, what the heck, let's see if it works
|
So I followed each step down to the letter
|
And almost right away I started feeling better
|
Instead of missing you, now you'll find me
|
Practicing the twelve-step recovery
|
|
(Repeat chorus)
|
|
That's the mend-a-broken-heart
|
Make-a-new-start, 12 step recovery
|
|
