Election Night (another Version) Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I met you on Election Night 

As we cried over our beer 

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 

And It's raining 

On Election Night 

You fight, you fight but nothing changes 

And when it does the payback's worse 

We arrived here in the limo 

We're going back home in a hearse 

You know we're leaving none the wiser 

I guess that we're just not that bright 

So I'll see you 

I'll see you 

Next Election Night 

These balloons look so deflated 

As they slowly float on down 

It's been 4 years we've been waiting 

For those balloons to hit the ground 

It looks like you backed a real loser 

Who thinks that life is black and white 

And it's raining 

Yes it's raining 

On Election Night
