From the recording The Way Things Used To Be
Written in July 1984, this is a real rebel-rousing, barroom drinking song. I really like it.
Lyrics
The barroom sure is quiet
on this lonely Friday night
The jukebox plays another sad, sad song
written ’bout you and me
The pool balls are just a-settin’ there
shinin’ under the light
Barkeep, bring another whiskey
you’re my only friend in sight
My drinkin’ days are over
but my nights have just begun
Until I find another sweet little woman
to call my very own
My drinkin’ days are over
but my nights have just begun
Until the mornin’ light
me and ol’ Jack
are sure gonna have some fun
Where are all those women
I used to see when you were around
Makin’ eyes
tellin’ lies
dreamin’ up a storm
Darlin’, you must have been gettin’ yours
while I was gettin’ mine
When I came home from work today
everything was gone
My drinkin’ days are over
but my nights have just begun
Until the mornin’ light
me and ol’ Jack
are sure gonna have some fun
Until the mornin’ light
me and ol’ Jack
are sure gonna have some fun
