Story Behind The Song

I see this run down abondned Cafe on my way to Las Vegas off Highway 58. Many times I think about the things that could have been and finally put to a song. Someday I might just up and buy the place for a song.

Song Description

The Bullets welcome you to the Desert Cafe. Check your guns at the door and join us in the saloon for a drink, a laff and a listen. The flavor changes nightly.

Lyrics

Well the Karoke singers
they are not allowed
takes a live band playing to get to this crowd
fightin and cursin
they are banned there too
just real good times
and always something new
and when the sun goes down
it really comes alive
with whoever shows up
at the Desert Cafe tonight.

And you can get yourself
almost anything you want
not quite a bar
or a club
or a resturaunt
but theres something always cookin
and the menus hot
served up with a smile
and always on the spot
and when the sun goes down
it really comes alive
with whoever shows up
at the Desert Cafe tonight.

Chorus: repeat 2 times

Everyone there has a smile on their face
in the shadow of the cactus
in the desert scape
the atmospheres cool
and the feelings great
its a lot more fun than anyplace.

And I cant wait till tomorrow
to go back again
just pullin up a chair
and hangin out there
with my friends
near the neon light
that flashes always open
and pickin up the check
if its my turn again
and when the sun goes down
it really comes alive
whth whoever shows up
at the Desert Cafe tonight
and when the sun goes down
it really comes alive
with whoever shows up
at the Desert Cafe tonight
Desert Cafe tonight
Desert Cafe to-nite
