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 |
