He walks in Orders up a round, how you been? My old friend The band kicks off
The same old dance, the same old worn-out songs But he sings along
He´s gonna stay here ´til they make him leave ´Cause he´s got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
One´ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One´ll help by drownin´ out the how´d you wind up here One´ll hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool The beer, the band and the barstool
Corner booth A blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue
Hey, how are you? Just by chance Are you here alone? How ´bout a dance? And she took his hand
He hopes she´d stay, but always knew she´d leave But he´s got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
One´ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One´ll help by drownin´ out the how´d you wind up here One´ll hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool The beer, the band and the barstool
Now he last call, lights a cigarette and orders up one more Pays his tab, knows he´ll be back ´cause he´s been here before
One´ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One´ll help by drownin´ out the how´d you wind up here One´ll hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool They go hand in hand with losing you The beer, the band and the barstool
