No Show
I had a date it was a no show
Guess he didn’t want to go
All dressed up
Feeling like crap
Got in my car
I headed to the bar
Sat down and ordered a drink
Bartender said you don’t fit in here
I smiled and ordered a beer
Shook my head and said.. I know
But where else am I to go
I had a date…but it was a no show
What was I to do
Sit around and feel so blue
Oh no, that’s not me
I am divorced and feeling free
Looking for something, that special someone
Who will love me
Where in God could he be
So the bartender says
When you finish your beer
There is another waiting right here
From that man across the way
Just trying to brighten your day
I smiled and said I’m ok
Jessie was his name
He came over and sat down
I’m new to this town
Just waiting on a friend
He’s running late again
I smiled and said
It’s cool
As I sat at that stool
Feeling like a damned fool
I looked around
Felt like all eyes were on me
What do they see
Wondering if they could know
That I had a date that was a no show
He said, you have some fans
They are looking at you
Cant you feel them too
I laughed, yeah right
They have poor sight
We sat there and talked
For hours that night
All because I had a date
That was a no show
I’m so glad he didn’t want to go
Tonight I met a friend
Restored faith in love again
So glad it turned out this way
Happy it was a no show
Met someone better I wanted to know
I’m so glad he didn’t want to go
Big thank you
To my no show….
Truly glad you decided not to go.
Cheers to you!
