Hope on the Rocks

Hope On the Rocks - Toby Keith

Brady was a baseball star

'Til he struck out and took his car and drove away

Sissy lost her little boy

Hitch-hiked up to Illinois so they say

Then it rained so hard that Mary tried

To take her life with suicide

And disappeared just like the thunder

You ask around and no one knows

Where they went or what they do

But you wonder I know you wonder

Where do they go

They come here

To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer

They're in need of a mind bender

I'm a bartender

At the end of the day

I'm all they've got

Hope on the rocks

Charlie's wife filed for divorce

And Charlie fought a court of orders and now he's riding the fence

Upside down and couldn't pay

They hauled Sue's mobile home away

And we ain't seen her since

Larry's long time fiance

Got kicked out of the P T A

And moved her kids back east with someone else

All the ones you used to know

Don't drop in or say hello

But you ask yourself

I know you ask yourself

Where do they go

They come here

To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer

They're in need of a mind bender

I'm a bartender

At the end of the day

I'm all they've got

Hope on the rocks

Where do they go

They come here

To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer

They're in need of a mind bender

I'm a bartender

At the end of the day

I'm all they've got

Hope on the rocks
