Janice At The Hotel Bar Lyrics


Hailey Whitters Janice At The Hotel Bar

[Verse 1]
She believes in face cream at the Walgreens and ruby-red lips
She'd take a vodka over dessert, sugar goes straight to your hips
And she don't smoke cigarettes 'cause it ain't lady-like
She'll cuss like a sailor, she ain't afraid to fight

She mows her own lawn and talks on her landline
She's got a granddaughter, still single, can't say she's surprised
Eats sardines by the can and berries from a vine
Be careful with the truth, girl, but don't you ever lie

[Chorus]
And stay off the pills
But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
And pay all your bills
But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
Make good love, good company
Drink good wine, make good coffee
Keep your chin up, but every once in a while
Have a good cry
Well, go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
To make a good life

[Verse 2]
She says all men are babies and that's just how they roll
They'll drive you crazy like a run in your hose
One day you might want one, make sure he's your best friend
'Cause if he can make you laugh, you might just make it to the end

[Chorus]
Stay off the pills
But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
And pay all your bills
But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
Make good love, good company
Drink good wine, raise good babies
Keep your chin up, ain't nothin' wrong with making a good wife
Well, go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
To make a good life

[Bridge]
And we were talkin' like old friends, down at that hotel bar
She said a glass of red every day is damn good for the heart
And she said I'm not trying to preach, but its just my own two cents
That the prize is looking back and knowing it was all time well spent

Paris in the spring, in 1973
She said if there is a Heaven, well that's right where I'll be
We said our goodbyes, she gave me a wink and grabbed her coat to leave
I won't ever forget everything Janice said to me

[Chorus]
Make good love, good company
Drink good wine, make good coffee
Make a life so good that you ain't gotta live it twice
Go on and make a good living, girl, don't forget
To make a good life
Go on and make a good life
