Barroom Lament

歌詞

My first hangout when I moved to Galveston was the Old Quarter Cafe. It's the best bar ever, except they don't have liquor, food, or customers. So, in between sets I went across the street to drink whiskey, eat peanuts, and stare at the cigarette machine. I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself I wish you'd take that bottle And put it right back on the shelf Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself I go down to the bar most every night I go down to the bar most every night The girls don't even notice and the boys all want to fight But I go down to the bar most every night The jukebox has not played my song in years The jukebox has not played my song in years On this same old barstool just backin' shots with beers And the jukebox has not played my song in years All my friends have gone so far away Said all my friends have gone so far away They all moved down to Austin Lord I miss 'em night and day And all my friends have gone so far away I'm really not that funny anymore I'm really not that funny anymore I used to be a riot, now I just a lonely bore And I'm really not that funny anymore Do you think that I could stay in town with you Do you think that I could stay in town with you It's thirty miles to my place and I'm feelin' tired and blue Do you think that I could stay in town with you Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself I wish you'd take that bottle And put it right back on the shelf Cause I'm tired of drinkin' whiskey by myself
