Warm Beer And Cold Women - Tom Waits

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
