Heartbeat Smile Songtext

von Alejandro Escovedo

A fortune I would pay if I thought it would heal
The pile of broken hearts on the top of the hill
Loves like a hurricane a runaway train
We take our chances on the numbers we play

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2
On the east side of the bay we'd watch the parade
I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile

Hear the roar of the crowd the lights from above
Empty seats take their toll all you've given is love
The man from japan plays a crooked guitar
And the songs that he sings live in dungeons and bars

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2
On the east side of the bay we'd watch the parade
I miss my friend with the heartbeat

We laughed and we roared
We staggered and fell
We greeted the sun with another tall tale
San Francisco, New York, the alleys of Rome
I wished I'd been there to carry you home

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2
On the east side of the bay we'd watch the parade
I miss my friend with the heartbeat
With the heartbeat
With the heartbeat smile
