Pool Hall Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He wore a red-ball cap And a busted grin Said he knew my name Before I walked in Pool table green And a jukebox hum He tapped my glass Then he said, “Come on” [Pre-Chorus] Now the whole room leaned When he took my hand Like a Friday night Had a second chance [Chorus] Pool hall promise You said it first Pool hall promise Then you made it worse I was gone by dawn With your jacket on Pool hall promise What went wrong? [Verse 2] You kissed me once By the soda sign Left me laughing Like I’d won a prize But the next week Your truck was gone And your side of town Kept moving on [Pre-Chorus] Now the whole room leaned When I heard your name But the cue ball crack Wasn’t quite the same [Chorus] Pool hall promise You said it first Pool hall promise Then you made it worse I was gone by dawn With your jacket on Pool hall promise What went wrong? [Bridge] Maybe you meant it Maybe you lied Maybe some things Just burn too bright I still hear that laugh Over red felt lines Like a cheap old heart At closing time [Chorus] Pool hall promise You said it first Pool hall promise Then you made it worse I was gone by dawn With your jacket on Pool hall promise What went wrong? [Outro] Yeah, pool hall promise I should’ve known You played that game Then you let go
