Broken Marquee
Broken Marquee
...I remember well the night I wrote Broken Marquee, up late after a long gig far from home in a freezing motel romanticizing the life of a songwriter with a bottle of jack.
This song and I became best friends.
Lyrics
Broken Marquee
Jim Dixon
She Doesn’t Know My Name
Even Though It’s Written on a Broken Sign Outside
She Comes In For a Beer,
a Corona with an Extra Lime
Afraid To Get My Courage Up
Afraid I Will Scare Her Away
I Think I Think Too Much
My Next Gig Is Three Hundred Miles Away
But If I Could
I would tell her that she’s Beautiful
I Wonder If She Would
Walk Away?
The Waitress Says She Doesn’t Talk To Much
Except To Say She Is through With Love
Me I Got CD for Sale, Right Upon the Stage
Wonder what is Love
And Wonder who she’s thinking of
The Sadness in Her Eyes Gives Her Away
But If I Could
I would tell her that she’s Beautiful
I Wonder If She Would
Walk Away
Can You Hear Me, Can You Rescue Me, I Would Sign….
For You
She Doesn’t Know My Name
Even Though It’s Written on a Broken Sign Outside
Underneath The Words Playing Here Tonight
She Comes In For A Beer
But Between Last Call and Disappear
You can Find Me
Loading Out
If I Could
I would tell her that she’s Beautiful
I Wonder If She Would
Walk Away
​
Wish I would
Just Tell Her She Is Beautiful.
If I Sing Real Good
Maybe she’ll stay
She Doesn’t Know My Name
Even Though It’s on the Broken Marquee Sign
