Wanna Wanna Bar

A seagull cry, a child laugh, an old man orders a drink
 It's been ten years since he got here and it hurts to think
 That years ago at this beachside bar a woman held his hand
 He lost his chance for true romance on South Padre Island
 The woman's name was Mary Ann, Gary loved her so
 He said be my wife for the rest of your life and she said no
 Old Gary was from Indiana all his life a traveling man
 He had a dog and a boat and he would float
 And fish around this old island
 But he's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar
 Sipping on a Coke and rum
 The tide rolls in, his dreams die out
 Waiting on a love that won't come
 True love never will come

 Years ago in California, Gary loved a girl named Sue
 She and three more wives told him lies when they said I do
 And this last one took the money and the things Gary cared about
 She took the dog and the boat, now he can't float cause she walked out
 And he's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar
 Sipping on a Coke and rum
 The tide rolls in, his dreams die out
 Waiting on a love that won't come
 True love never will come
 ♪
 Gary looks out at the gulf and he squints his eyes
 Thinking again of what might have been without them hard goodbyes
 But Gary's got lots of stories about people and places he's been
 Yeah, I've had a few of them good times too he said with a grin
 He's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar
 Sipping on a Coke and rum
 The tide rolls in, his dreams die out
 Waiting on a love that won't come
 True love never will come
 ♪
 Yeah Gary's still down there on Padre a little sad but he's alright
 If you head his way on some Sunday, he'll drink with you all night
 'Cause he's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar
 Sipping on a Coke and rum
 The tide rolls in, his dreams die out
 Waiting on a love that won't come
 True love never will come
 Waiting on a love that won't come
 True love never will come
