Bar Band Blues (2023 Remaster)

Well, I'm a-workin' in a bar band
Lookin for a good hand
The barkeep fell asleep
Watchin' the newsman
A blonde girl strolled in
Said she'd have a shot of gin
Sat on a barstool next to some damn fool
The innocent one said
"Baby, it's in the wind"

Well, iron and steel
And the Virginia Reel
The girls dance in tight pants
Causin' a big deal
I hocked my best guitar
At a chance to be a star
It kinda fell through; my clothes were brand new
A clean set of stud duds
Don't get ya too far

The drummer and the horn man
Are outta the tin can
Did time for the crime of
A bar band blues man

Once in a blue moon
They hang 'em at high noon
Reply is a sigh
That the end is comin' soon
And Friday night's the poker game
Last time the cops came
Hooker's in the back room with a guy on his honeymoon
Two fellas are wonderin'
How they got the same name

Well, speak up if you can
Take a shot of medicine
Your hope's on the ropes
'Cause it's the bar band blues man
