"Warm Beer And Cold Women" lyrics

"Warm Beer And Cold Women"

It's warm beer and cold women, no 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
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
