Election Night Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I met you on election night 

As we cried over our beers 

Nothing you could do would cheer me up 

We broke up later that year 

How come you and I aren't winners? 

Why weren't we born the other side? 

And it's raining 

It's raining 

On election night 

You fight, you fight and nothing changes 

And when it does the payback's worse 

We arrived here in limo 

We drove home in a hearse 

And we are none the wiser 

I guess that we're just not so bright 

So I'll see you 

Yes I'll see you 

Next election night 

The balloons look so deflated 

As they burst and float on down 

It's been 4 years that we've waited 

For those balloons to hit the ground 

Looks like you backed a real loser 

Who thinks that life is black and white 

But he'll be back again 

We'll be back again 

Next election night
