Well it's 10 pm and all the ladies are looking fine
I'd rather trade off my old steel guitar
just to taste her sweet red wine.
Cause I'm a rusty boy with a nasty toy
that would be my heart,
Just a few shots of that Yukon Jack
You might be my sweet push start.


CHORUS
It's just another hopeful night
for a hopeless guy.
It's just another hopeful night
for a hopeless guy.


Well I stepped out on that dance floor
I smelled honey in the air
When I spotted that queen of diamonds
with her ultraviolet stare
I said hey easy come easy go it's my latest groove,
but it don't make things much easier when some are born to lose.


CHORUS


Well I sat down at my buddy's table
and I bought another round
They say it's better off to go and loosen up
before you run and get shut down.
So I made my move across that room
to my sweet little sugar pie
I winked and I asked her for a dance
She said I could make you fly.
She said my boyfriend's here and
it really would be nice,
but he doesn't want me dancing with you hopeless guys.


CHORUS


Well I grabbed her hand and I kissed her cheek
Man I sure did fly, but it was out across
that dance floor with her boyfriend and two black eyes.
It was an easy come but a tougher go
but I guess that's nothing new
as that sexy waitress iced my head
someone tell me this is true.
I'm getting really sick and tired
of this hopeless fight,
