Billiard Player Song Lyrics

[Verse]
He cursed like a billiard player
His racks his stick upon the ground, he
Waddles blind like an old man should be
Shakes a lot like an old man should

Off and on he's been here
Probably twenty years
Off and on he's been here
Guess he'll never go home

[Chorus]
I guess it's the comfortable chair
And company, you can't buy company
It's a frame of mind
It's people who've been through what you've been through
And a cigar
A good cigar now and again

[Verse]
Had his heart broken
By a little girl, she was small
Had his heart broken
By a little girl, she was small

Had his heart broken
You would never expect a thing
When he was a young man
It was like an event

[Chorus]
He promised her anything
He never had to deliver
He promised her everything
Ask yourself if you could do better

He promised her everything
She caught on

[Bridge]
A lot of people say she's crazy
But I know, I know a lot of people
And I think, I think she's alright!

[Verse]
He cursed like a billiard player
His racks his stick upon the ground
And she would ask him
She was young and she didn't know
Why things were like this
And not another way

[Chorus]
He lied to her
He lied to her
With a perfectly straight face
She believed him
