All those nights
It's warm beer and cold women
No I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
That's just how its been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
And recycled stories
In the naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you
I light another cigarette
And the band's playing something by Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight
All my conversations now
I'll just be talking about you, baby
I'm boring some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen now I say that's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you
Until I showed him my tattoo
And now the moon's rising
Ain't no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking
Tell the band to play the blues
And the drinks are on me I'll buy another round
At the last ditch attempt saloon
Warm beer and cold women
No I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumble into tonight
That's just how it's been
All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth
Receding hairlines
In the naugahyde booths
And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you, baby
I light a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing something by Johnnie Barnette
At the last ditch attempt saloon
