warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
|
every joint I stumbled into tonight
|
that's just how it's been
|
all these double knit strangers with
|
gin and vermouth and recycled stories
|
in the naugahyde booths
|
|
with the platinum blondes
|
and tobacco brunettes
|
I'll be drinkin' to forget you
|
lite another cigarette
|
and the band's playin' something
|
by Tammy Wynette
|
and the drinks are on me tonight
|
|
all my conversations I'll just be
|
talkin' about you baby
|
borin' some sailor as I try to get through
|
I just want him to listen
|
that's all you have to do
|
he said I'm better off without you
|
till I showed him my tattoo
|
|
now the moon's rising
|
ain't got no time to lose
|
time to get down to drinking
|
tell the band to play the blues
|
drink's are on me, I'll buy another round
|
at the last ditch attempt saloon
|
|
warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
|
every joint I stumbled into tonight
|
that's just how it's been
|
all these double knit strangers with
|
gin and vermouth and recycled stories
|
in the naugahyde booths
|
|
with the platinum blondes
|
and tobacco brunettes
|
I'll be drinking to forget you
|
lite another cigarette
|
and the band's playing somethin'
|
by Johnnie Barnett
|
and the drinks are on me tonight
