Tom Waits - Warm Beer And Cold Women

Nighthawks at the Diner
(1975)
Warm Beer And Cold Women
Tom Waits

warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
every joint I stumbled into tonight
that's just how it's been
in the naugahyde booths
all these double knit strangers with
gin and vermouth and recycled stories

with the platinum blondes
I'll be drinkin' to forget you
and the band's playin' something
lite another cigarette
and tobacco brunettes
by Tammy Wynette
and the drinks are on me tonight

all my conversations I'll just be
talkin' about you baby
I just want him to listen
borin' some sailor as I try to get through
that's all you have to do
till I showed him my tattoo
he said I'm better off without you

now the moon's rising
time to get down to drinking
ain't got no time to lose
tell the band to play the blues
at the last ditch attempt saloon
drink's are on me, I'll buy another round

warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
all these double knit strangers with
every joint I stumbled into tonight
that's just how it's been
in the naugahyde booths
gin and vermouth and recycled stories

with the platinum blondes
I'll be drinking to forget you
and tobacco brunettes
lite another cigarette
and the band's playing somethin'
by Johnnie Barnett
and the drinks are on me tonight
