"Heartbeat Smile" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

A fortune I would pay if I though it would heal
A pair of broken hearts on the top of the hill
Well like a hurricane or a run away train
Take our chances on the numbers we play

[Chorus:]
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile
On the east side of the bay we watch the parade
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile

And the roar of the crowd the lights from above
And these scenes take a toll on that given his love
The man from Japan plays a crooked guitar
And the songs that he sings in the dungeons and bars and bars

[Chorus:]
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile
On the east side of the bay we watch the parade
I miss my friends with the heartbeat smile
We laugh and we run we staggered and fell
Greeted the sun with another tall tale
San Francisco, New York, Valparaiso
I wish I'd been there to carry you home
