Latin American Bar Scene
You wore Che on your hat
Your black hair came up and hung from the back
Framed by the window in the tropical night
Stars above you like Christmas lights
But you didn't come here to play pool or drink
Or talk to the man that offered you his seat
And I can't quite decipher the Spanish you speak
Tell me, what brought you here–
We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam
And there's no path to lead us home
Is this just a stepping stone
Or are we just lost in South America
A jazz singer wrote at the bar
Smoke curled around him in a silver arc
Notes of charango blew in from the street
He captured the scene in his poetry
But he was used to the ambiance
A professional by his nonchalance
We were like beggars how we breathed and we watched
Tell me, what brought you here–

We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam
And there's no path to lead us home
Is this just a stepping stone
Or are we just lost in South America
A glass of rum by the pool table fell
Three men stood up, a few bystanders yelled
The couples that were swaying in time
Cleared like fog, they cut like lime
As we stepped out of the garden doorway
Quickly like others to avoid the fray
A homeless man held out his tattered tray
Tell me, where should we go–
We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam
And there's no path to lead us home
Is this just a stepping stone
Or are we just lost in South America
