VERSE 2
Now John at the bar â?? heâ??s a friend of mine,
he gets me my drinks for free
And heâ??s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
but thereâ??s some place that heâ??d rather be
(interlude)
He says bill I believe this is killing me
as the smile ran away from his face,
Well Iâ??m sure that I could be a movie star,
if I could get out of this place
La da da de de Da Da da da de de Da DA DE
VERSE 3
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
who never had time for a wife
And heâ??s talking with Davy whoâ??s still in the navy
and probably will be for life
(interlude)
And the waitress is practising politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
but its better than drinking alone
PIANO SOLO
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Itâ??s a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
Cause he knows that itâ??s me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
(interlude)
And the piano sounds like a carnival
and the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
and say man what are you doing here?
La da da de de Da Da da da de de Da DA DE
