[00:30.87]It  s nine o  clock on a Saturday
[00:36.49]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:38.99]
[00:39.55]There  s an old man sitting next to me
[00:43.73]Makin   love to his tonic and gin
[00:47.97]
[00:57.90]He says, Son, can you play me a memory
[01:02.08]I  m not really sure how it goes
[01:06.17]But it  s sad and it  s sweet and I knew it complete
[01:10.35]When I wore a younger man  s clothes.
[01:13.47]
[01:14.76]la la la, di da da
[01:19.63]La la, di di da da dum

[01:38.91]And you  ve got us all feelin   all right

[01:57.01]Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
[02:01.31]He gets me my drinks for free
[02:04.18]
[02:05.18]And he  s quick with a joke
[02:06.93]and he  ll light up your smoke
[02:09.05]But there  s some place that he  d rather be
[02:12.11]
[02:14.86]He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me.
[02:18.97]As his smile ran away from his face
[02:23.09]Well I  m sure that I could be a movie star
[02:27.21]If I could get out of this place
[02:30.45]
[02:31.32]Oh, la la la, di da da
[02:35.70]La la, di da da da dum
[02:41.19]
[02:43.56]Now Paul is a real estate novelist
[02:47.74]Who never had time for a wife
[02:51.61]And he  s talkin   with Davy,
[02:53.54]who  s still in the Navy
[02:55.60]And probably will be for life
[02:58.64]
[03:09.31]And the waitress is practicing politics
[03:13.43]As the businessman slowly gets stoned
[03:17.48]Yes, they  re sharing a drink they call loneliness
[03:21.54]But it  s better than drinkin   alone

[04:14.10]
[04:15.82]And the manager gives me a smile
[04:19.88]  Cause he knows
[04:20.62]that it  s me they  ve been comin   to see
[04:23.75]To forget about their life for a while
[04:27.99]
[04:29.30]And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
[04:33.42]And the microphone smells like a beer
[04:37.22]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[04:41.40]And say, Man, what are you doin   here?
