Lyrics
It's warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
'Cause 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 just be drinkin' to forget you
Light another cigarette
And the band's playin' something
By Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight
All my conversations now
I'll just be talkin' about you baby
Borin' some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen now
I said that's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you
Till I showed him my tattoo
And now the moon's rising
Ain't no time to lose
It's time to get down to drinking
Tell the band to play the blues
And the drinks are on me
I'll buy a couple rounds
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 receding hairlines in the naugahyde booths
With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
I'll just be drinking to forget you, babe
I'll light a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing somethin'
By Johnnie Barnett
At the last ditch attempt saloon
