Curtain Calls - Old 97's

In a western town, beneath the northern lights

Where the pine trees pine for the fall of night

You believe in cards, and you believe in signs

And I’ll be leavin' soon, but I’m here tonight

On a mountainside, well below the stars

Ya' keep your lover’s eyes in mason jars

And I should be scared, but I feel no fear

'cause I’ll be leavin' soon, but tonight I’m here

And even if you are the one, and even if the cards are all true

When the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

When the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

Well the Southern P. moved her family down

Then along came me to her sleepy town

I don’t believe in cards, I don’t believe in signs

But I’ll be leavin' soon, I’m here tonight

And even if you are the one, and even if I tried to be true

When the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

When the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

In a western town, beneath the northern lights

Where the pine trees pine for the fall of night

Don’t believe in me, did I make that clear?

'cause I’ll be long gone soon, but tonight I’m here

And even if you were the one, I didn’t wanna walk out on you

But when the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

And when the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?

And when the curtain calls, oh baby, what’s a boy to do?
