Noirsville Tune of the Week


 Warm Beer And Cold Women

Intro

Aye  all right,
This is about a um...I'd kinda reached the end of an emotional cul-de-sac one particular evening, um
It's a strange sort of evening, I ending up at the little vinyl place called 'The Three Little Pigs'
Well I was staring at the beer nuts and the swizzle sticks and the
The three little pigs and I was getting a lot of visual and verbal insubordination
From a double knit character in the corner...
One of those nights...


Lyrics

Warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
That's just how it's been
All these double knit strangers with
Gin and vermouth and recycled stories
In the Naugahyde booths
With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
I'll be drinkin' to forget you
I'll lite another cigarette
And the band's playin' something
By Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

All my conversations now I'll just be
Talkin' about you baby
And borin' some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen
That's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you
Till I showed him my tattoo
Now the moon's rising
Ain't got no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking
Tell the band to play the blues
And drink's are on me, I'll buy another round
At the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
That's just how it's been
All these double knit strangers with
Gin and vermouth, receding hairlines
In the Naugahyde booths
With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
I'll be drinking to forget you baby
I'll lite a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing somethin'
By Johnnie Barnett
And the last ditch attempt saloon
