Charles F. Heider

Lyrics

Flip-flops slappin' on the sidewalk
Salt air blowin' in my hair
Neon parrots on a bar sign
Old songs spillin' down the stairs
Tourists chasin' plastic hurricanes
Locals laughin' in the back
Smell of rum and margaritas
Sloppy Joe's and Hogs Breath drafts

Duval after dark
It's a long
Slow roll
From the Southernmost Point to Chart Room lore
Every doorway's got a story
Every barstool friend
You lose your name
You find your heart again
On Duval after dark (hey!)
Duval after dark

Street painter workin' on a sunset
For a couple crumpled fives
Barefoot singer on a milk crate
Keeping Jimmy's songs alive
Bachelorette wearin' cheap white feathers
Spills her secrets to the moon
Old salt sippin' from a paper coffee
Says
"It's still a little early
Son
It's barely past noon"

Duval after dark
It's a long
Slow roll
From the Southernmost Point to Chart Room lore
Every doorway's got a story
Every barstool friend
You lose your name
You find your heart again
On Duval after dark (oh yeah)
Duval after dark

Roosters on the rooftop
Crow at midnight
Conch shells hangin' by a busted door
You swear you'll leave here come the daylight
Then the band kicks in and you stay for one more (one more)

Duval after dark
It's a long
Slow roll
From the Southernmost Point to Chart Room lore
Every heartbreak feels lighter in that island wind
You lose your name
You find your heart again
On Duval after dark
Yeah
Duval after dark (sing it)
Duval after dark
