A Gentleman On My Mind

I've worked with slingin' drinks
at this bar until I've almost lost my mind
and I've been offered drinks,
a brand new car at least a thousand times
but they're just blowin' smoke
most of them are broke I always find
but I don't like that kinda talk
I've got a gentleman on my mind
They like my skimpy uniform
and grab hold of my arm when I walk by
they come in from a hard days work
and drink away their hurt and unwind
but they won't leave a tip
if I give 'em too much lip for being kind
but I don't like that kinda man
I've got a gentleman on my mind

I've got a gentleman on my mind
and if it plays you're hard to find
when they get full of beer and wine
gets pretty decent and the lies are flyin'
Yes, I've got a gentleman on my mind
Instrumental
Well, I've listened to their jokes
and breathed their cigar smoke
till I half blind
most of them are hangin' round
and I have to turn 'em down
because I'm tired
It's not wrong of them to ask
but they could do it with a little more class and pride
well I may not be a saint
but I've got a gentleman on my mind
I've got a gentleman on my mind
and if it plays you're hard to find
when they get full of beer and wine
gets pretty decent and the lies are flyin'
Yes, I've got a gentleman on my mind
Yes, I've got a gentleman on my mind
