The Great Unknown Lyrics - My Stupid Heart - Shawn Mullins

It's Friday night and I'm back again, 

With my old guitar and my trusty grin 

And a best you don't come in here sign 

Tatooed on this heart of mine 

From a dirty brown shag carpet stage 

I sing my song and I pace the cage 

Stuck up here in the twilight zone 

Staring out to the great unknown 

There's an old Hank Williams figurine 

Hangin' by a guitar string 

From the pool chain of the papps blue ribbon sign 

With a clock that stopped on half past nine 

Yeah the time ain't changed 'round here in years 

Same sad stories same old tears 

Ain't nobody wants to be alone 

Out here in the great unknown 

You can find a stool there at the bar 

Designed to take you no where far 

They got a mirror back behind the whiskey shelves 

Where we don't dare look back at ourselves 

Just past the mens room down the hall 

Barely hangin' there on a plaster wall 

A faded sticker on the old pay phone 

Says welcome to the great unknown 

It's out beyond a yonder star
