there is this big fancy bar down town
everyone goes, from all around
I walk in way after the sun goes down
I'm just a lonely man, trying to fit in this town
I got my long flowing hair
a black leather jacket, and my chest is bare.
Old faded jeans that I love to wear
and these black boots that let you know, ya, I dare
the air is thick, with cigarette smoke
the jukebox is playing Elvis, is the radio broke?
taking a seat at the end of the bar made of oak
I order a captain and coke
this blond comes over, wanting to chat
she says her name is Cindy, I tell her mine is Matt
she's acting all stupid but I don't play like that
she wants me to buy her a drink, but I aint gonna be just another stat
a redhead dressed all in black
she says, "hey there Jack"
"my name is Mary, how you like that?"
Mary is kind of weird, "where is yo ring big boy"
I tell her that I'm not married but I'm not a boytoy.
Marry turns a little, tries to show me her rack
I tell her, "I don't play like that."
chugging down my drink
I see this cutie, she's dressed in hot pink
I tell the bar tender, I want to buy her a drink
from across the bar, she gives me a wink
She walks on over and sits next to me
she says her name is Tammy
my name is John, but my boys call me Billy
she asks why, and I tell her the story
she is here, with some friends of hers
this is her hang out but she is not a player
I find out she's a high school teacher
she works out and plays tennis, "I bet I can beat ya"
I moved here last week
use to live near a creek
I am a carpenter, I get paid by the week.
and I play the guitar for keeps
two in the morning her friends says they have to go home
she gives me her number, and says "I would like if you phone"
she hands me a slip of paper, and then leaves me alone.
I pay the tab, and head on home
