“Drinking at the Corner Bar” (c) by Solitary Rider aka Andyboy Georgia
oh babe, now you’re gone, and they just turned off my phone
I couldn’t call you if I wanted to, but I don’t want to, not for awhile
my days, are foggy gray, and I'm lost for things to say
I don’t blame you for running out on me, I would leave too, If I were you
so I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
call you on the other side of night
I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
sit alone under cobweb skies
soak my suds like the spiders eat flies
I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
this pain is all I know and it comes from long ago
you came after, like the last girl, thrown in the trash heap that is my past
I found your favorite ring, it was buried ‘neath my thangs
useless memoir of a hopeful moment, but we both knew we were doomed
so I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
patch me up until the morning light
I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
Chinese food on my way back
vacant dreams and a heart attack
I’m drinking at the corner bar tonight
awake in blissful haze, but the moment slips away
I remember who I am, a sucked out half shell of a man
your note fell from the door, it’s stained with lo mein on the floor
I’ll get to it, when I’m ready, but I’m not ready, not for awhile.
so I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
call you on the other side of night
I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
sit alone under cobweb skies
soak my suds like the spiders eat flies
I’m drinkin’ at the corner bar tonight
