Tonight
The bartender
Is on the wrong side
Of the bar
I'm working
On the night shift
In the lonely
Part of town
A place where
People go
When troubles
Got them down
Each night
A row of faces
Stare back at me
Crying "Bartender
Can't you
Please cure my
Misery"
Each man
Wants a story
Consolation
And a beer
But tonight
They're alone
Cause I'm
Not really here
My mind
Is on that woman
Who was the world to me
She's got tired
Of this life I live
So she's found new company
So less talk
More music
I'll pay
You choose it
Tonight
I'm as blue
As you are
Less talk
More music
You pour the booze
And I'll abuse it
Tonight
The bartender
Is on the wrong side
Of the bar
Tonight
The bartender
Is on the wrong side
Of the bar
