Toss Your Partner - Tom House

If anything is as true

As any other thing to you

Then tell me why you think I’m

Gonna swear by that tear in your eye

Cause I seen it coming it’s been there before

And my pride’s a long time out the door

And I’d give what I got not to still be here

Just shooting the breeze drinking the beer

Waitress leaning on a one-way ticket

Check her face in the window pane

Icy moon on a binge tonight

And no one can explain

Why it took so long just to go so wrong

You don’t get to hide behind your first last name

And the you I knew is a longtime gone

And I figure you could say the same about me

If you wanted you could say the same

Chorus: And hands are reaching under tables in the candlelight

Words are tossed like ashes to the ground

Fingers are dancing to another tune now

Toss your partner around Toss your partner around

If everyone is as free

As you and I are supposed to be

Then tell me why the changing guard

Just stand around and stare so hard

Like they know something maybe I ought to know

Hell I seen it coming hate to see it go

But there ain’t no looking when there ain’t no more

Reasons to be looking for

Waitress gonna give us one last call

And we’re face to face and we’re facing a wall

And it’s too late now to wonder how it’ll feel

Cause when the lights come up you’ve got to settle the bill

That’s right we got to settle the bill
