Getting By A Quarter At A Time |
She’s not a kid anymore she can hide her age in these dim lights |
Waitin' tables in this bar ain’t what she’s lookin' for |
The short years fly by but oh the long long nights |
A bar tends to make a woman hard |
Read a story in the lines beneath her eyes |
As tips hit the table they jingle and they jangle |
Get her by a quarter at a time |
She’s getting by a quarter at a time a diamond in the rough has lost her shine |
Slingin' drinks at least will pay the rent again get her by a quarter at a time |
Another man stands up to leave she’s always been left behind |
The change she’s waitin' for keeps walkin' out the door |
But her quarters are sliver lined she’s danced to everybody’s tune |
But gettin' stepped on don’t make her cry |
But after work the jukebox brings a little tear drop |
The memories cost a quarter at a time |
She’s getting by a quarter… |
