When the Needle Drops

There's a neon light That shines for me Calls me in and I begin My therapy My counselor Pours me a drink Gives me a smile And for a while I don't have to think But if you're thinking beer Is the only reason why I'm here When the needle drops I can clearly see The bridge to where we were And what used to be It heals my heart when the steel guitar Cries with me Some how it helps a lot When the needle drops I wish I could say I come once a week But I'd be lying Cause every day at five I find my seat There ain't much proof Of progress made Unless you're keeping record Of all the records That I've played My fantasy Is what keeps my sanity Cause when the needle drops I can clearly see The bridge to where we were And what used to be It heals my heart when the steel guitar Cries with me Some how it helps a lot When the needle drops When the needle drops I can clearly see The bridge to where we were And what used to be It heals my heart when the steel guitar Cries with me Some how it helps a lot When the needle drops It always helps a lot When the needle drops
