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
