John Wesley Harding
Election Night
[Verse 1]
Well, I met you on election night
As we cried over our beer
Nothing you could do would cheer me up
We broke up later that year
Well, how come you and I aren't winners? (Yeah)
Why weren't we born the other side?

[Chorus]
And it's raining
And It's raining
On election night

[Verse 2]
You fight but nothing changes
And when it does the payback is worse
We arrived here in the limo
We're going back home in a hearse
You know we're leaving none the wiser
I guess that we're just not that bright

[Chorus]
So I'll see you
So I'll see you
Come election night
[Verse 3]
Those balloons look so deflated
As they slowly float on down
It's been four years we've been waiting
For those balloons to hit the ground
It looks like you backed a real loser, a real loser
Who thinks that life is black and white

[Chorus]
And it's raining
Why's it raining
On election night?
On election night
On election night
