Warm Beer & Cold Women Lyrics

Tom Waits Warm Beer & Cold Women

Warm beer and cold women, I just dont fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
Thats just how its been
All these double knit strangers with
Gin and vermouth and recycled stories
In the naugahyde booths

With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
Ill be drinkin to forget you
Lite another cigarette
And the bands playin something
By tammy wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

All my conversations Ill just be
Talkin about you baby
Borin some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen
Thats all you have to do
He said Im better off without you
Till I showed him my tattoo

Now the moons rising
Aint got no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking
Tell the band to play the blues
Drinks are on me, Ill buy another round
At the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer and cold women, I just dont fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
Thats just how its been
All these double knit strangers with
Gin and vermouth and recycled stories
In the naugahyde booths

With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
Ill be drinking to forget you
Lite menthol cigarette
And the bands playing somethin
By johnnie barnett
And the drinks are on me tonight
