Lyrics
Quarters in my palm, Legion hall, half past nine Dust on the pool cue, Christmas lights on the line His stool's got a tear in the red vinyl seat I punch his number in and I stare down at my feet Rosie leans in low, sets a glass down slow "Your daddy always paid for it twice, you know" Play it twice, once for him, once for me Let that old voice roll across the floor Play it twice, the way he used to do Two quarters down and I'm the son he's talking to Play it twice She says, "He'd tap the glass and wink at me One for the old man, one for the boy, Rosie, see" I was never here, I was out on the road Hauling somebody else's load I don't say a word, I just turn my hat She's said enough, and that was that Rosie wipes the bar, says it soft and plain "Go on, honey, let it play again" Play it twice, once for him, once for me Let that old voice roll across the floor Play it twice, the way he used to do Two quarters down and I'm the son he's talking to Play it twice Mama keeps his boots by the kitchen door Still got creek mud dried on the floor I never asked him how it felt to wait Now I'm the one who's late Play it twice, once for him, once for me Let that old voice roll across the floor Play it twice, the way he used to do Two quarters down and I'm the son he's talking to Play it twice, play it twice One more quarter, Rosie Play it twice
