lyrics

One glass of Whiskey
One glass of wine
Late night laughs
With some friends of mine

Dry martini
Rye on the rocks
Folks start clearing out
‘Round about one o’clock

And after the show as all the people go
That neon’s burnin bright
And the juke box starts playin that old refrain
And it fits the feelin right

And that late night feel’s got a gay appeal
And it calls you like a friend
And it bids you to dream
You’re in some movie scene
And life’s just make pretend

But the feeling goes and then it’s time to close
And they turn off the sign
And I say so long to those friends of mine

Prince or a pauper, king or a fool
whatever you be you can drink with me
As long as you can sit your ass on a stool

And if you’ve got a dollar
Won’t you fill up my cup
‘cause I hate to see the bottom
Unless it’s bottoms up

And if it ain’t your night
Well, that’s alright. That whiskey she don’t care
And the drink’s on me
And the talk is free
If you’ve got troubles to share
So leave your load and take one for the road
‘Cause the end always comes too soon
And it won’t be long before that big ol’ sun
Starts chasin down the moon.

And there’s journeys to make
And I’ve got things to take
And I’ve got things to leave behind
And man I just can’t shake those friends of mine

Well lately I’ve been losing sleep
Lately I been killin time
Lately I find it hard to keep up with those friends of mine

Faces are always changing
Soon a stranger becomes a friend
A friend becomes a lover
then a stranger back again

And it’s highs and lows and that’s how it goes
You live to love, you love to lose
I don’t mind taking off my clothes
But boy I hate putting on my shoes

It’s that feeling you get from your last cigarette
Like a debt you just can’t seem to pay
If there’s still time to borrow and the payback’s tomorrow
Then I’ll let it ride on today

And ask me if I’m lonely, I’ll say I’m doing fine
I’ll say I’m with some friends of mine
