Heartbeat Smile - Alejandro Escovedo

A fortune I would pay if I thought it would heal

The pile of broken hearts on the top of the hill

Loves like a hurricane a runaway train

We take our chances on the numbers we play

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2

On the east side of the bay we’d watch the parade

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile

Hear the roar of the crowd the lights from above

Empty seats take their toll all you’ve given is love

The man from japan plays a crooked guitar

And the songs that he sings live in dungeons and bars

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2

On the east side of the bay we’d watch the parade

I miss my friend with the heartbeat

We laughed and we roared

We staggered and fell

We greeted the sun with another tall tale

San Francisco, New York, the alleys of Rome

I wished I’d been there to carry you home

I miss my friend with the heartbeat smile x2

On the east side of the bay we’d watch the parade

I miss my friend with the heartbeat

With the heartbeat

With the heartbeat smile
