Betel Nut Road

Palm trees, a summer breeze, it's the break of dawn
Everybody's singing that sweet little song
Those neon lights are still buzzing' but it all feels wrong
Everything is different now that you are gone

Every time you hit that note
I'd cry
Dust and smoke, the drunkards are swaying
Under a burgundy sky

Can't go back home no more
I'll going to stay here and take things slow
I'll keep on shuffling down Betel Nut Road

Rice wine, I'm lost in time, my baby took off and ran
I pray at the temple, I burn money in a can
She says I wasted my life just for the sake of a song
"You've kept us waiting for much too long"

Every time you hit that note
I'd cry
I can't remember what it's like
To even say goodbye

I'm doing the foxtrot in my dreams
Save the next dance just for me
I'll be waiting right here on Betel Nut Road

Every time you hit that note
I'd cry
Dust and smoke, the drunkards are swaying
Under a burgundy sky

If this life is just a dream
Then you'll surely come back to me
I'll be waiting for you on Betel Nut Road
