Now Paul is a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife.

And he’s talkin’ with Davy who’s still in the navy, and probably will

be for life.

And the waitress is practicing politics, as the businessmen slowly get

stoned.

Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness,

but it’s better than drinkin’ alone.

Verse 4:

It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday, and the manager gives me a

smile.

‘Cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see,

to forget about life for a while.

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival, and the microphone smells

like a beer.

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar,

and say, “Man, what are you doin’ here?”
