Nobody's Bar |
I strolled in a bar downtown to lose my blues |
Rest my weary feet, dust my shoes |
Asked the bartender there, «Please, |
Give me one large glass of ruby wine.» |
Seemed like a movie scene out of the West |
Walls made of paper card false like the rest |
Still the wine seemed real cheap |
At one dollar a glass in nobody’s bar |
Now here come the sherief’s man, gun in his hand |
Seeing him stand there, 'lone, drinking |
At one dollar a glass in nobody’s bar |
Endless faces now, swimming around |
Eyes without vision, ears without sound |
To and fro they stand before me |
A vision of heaven without Jesus there |
Easy young woman got nothing to give |
Only her body to bargain with |
«Hey sweet boy, won’t you buy me |
Just one large glass of ruby wine» |
Tired of this mean old place I’m going home |
Tired of rolling on like a stone |
Hey I lost my mind drinking |
At one dollar a glass in nobody’s bar |
