Bottom Of The Barrel Lyrics

Howe Gelb Bottom Of The Barrel

baby’s looking good in this bar
here’s hoping you stay the way that you are
here at the bottom of the barrel

if you haven’t had kids so far
the way that they’ll be is the way that you are
here at the bottom of the barrel

when I lie awake at night
see the light down the hall way
it’s just a small way

alone in the belly
alone when you go
alone in the zone
is all you ever get to know

been traveling so far
by train and plane and phone in car
they’ve always made room so far
there at the bottom of the barrel

hearing you call one more time down the hall way
just a small way
everything’s going to be ok
even if it’s not ok

baby is a pattern of one
baby, nothing new here under the sun
nothing new here under the sun
but my baby is a pattern of one
a pattern of one
there’s nothing new here

here at the bottom of the barrel
