Tom Waits - Warm Beer And Cold Women lyrics

rate me

One of those nights

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

With the platinum blonds, tobacco brunettes

I'll be drinkin' to forget you, I'll lite 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" until I showed him my tattoo

And 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

Drinks are on me, I'll buy another round

At the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer, 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

Receeding hairlines in the Naugahyde booths

With the platinum blonds, tobacco brunettes

I'll just be drinking to forget you baby, I'll lite menthol cigarette

And the band's playing somethin' by Johnnie Barnett

And the last ditch too soon
