NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
{Maureen Finlon/John Finnigan/Jack Saunders}



It’s a cold night in a dark bar in Chicago
The jukebox plays an old Burrito’s song
She shuffles thru the front door and looks in
For someone there to help her right a wrong

As she throws her money on the table
And stares down at her pleasure in a jar
Someone calls her name she turns and wonders
Is he the one to take her to the stars

     So many nights seem this familiar
     How many times we’ll never know
     Could it be the time is right for leaving
     She’s lonely with nowhere else to go


She can’t help but think he’ll let her down again
Why should she take a chance on someone new
She listens to the tinkling of the ice cubes
And wonders what’s she got to lose

     (chorus)

At closing time the bar is filled with laughter
The loneliness is lifted from the room
Guess you could say she found what she was after
For one more night she’s gonna make it thru

     (chorus)

It’s a cold night in a dark bar in Chicago
