Hi there.
Just finished this song based mainly on a lyric sent to me by John Vaughan.
Originally it was a comic lyric but I can't do comedy songs well so I changed it.
There must be at least one place like this in every town.
I have an alternative bridge at the end which I haven't used so would be interested in whether you think I should exchange.

BIAB instruments:
Bass 2474
Piano 2045, 2503, 2025
Drums Brushes, Folk
Steel guitars 2667, 3691
Acoustic guitar 3198

Thank you all.

V.1
There's a place out of town
people go when feeling down,
at the dark end of the day
The booze is cheap. The food ain't best
but the music's stood that all time test
Down at the Blues Café.
Br.1
You can dance if you like
with a husband or a wife
Cos they'll be lonely too
Looking for somebody ...
Somebody like you
V.2
Those old songs you'll get to hear
will have you crying in your beer
Memories of a sad affair
Always busy happy hour
Tequila, gin, JD sour
It's hard to find an empty chair
Br.2
If you've burdens to unload
stories needing to be told
Dreams to carry you away
Come on over ...
Step inside the Blues Café
Inst.
Br.3
So go find your ivory tower
while away the hours
at the dark end of the day
Drink your lonely life away ...
down at the Blues Cafe
