The night club was burning
From the torch singer`s song
And the sweat was floodin` her eyes
The catwalk squeaked
Neath the bartender`s feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise
Chorus:
She sang of the love that I left her
And of the woman that she`ll never be
Made me feel like the buck and a quarter
That I paid `em to listen and see
I paid `em to listen and see
I was born down in Kansas
Neath the October sky
Work the day shift from seven to three
And the only relief that I receive
Is nearer my God to Thee
She constantly throwsme off timing
Leaves me standing both naked and bare
Makes me feel like the Sunday funnies
After everything`s gone off the air
Everything`s gone off the air
I picked through the ashes
Of the torch singer`s song
And I ordered my money a round
For whiskey and pain
Both taste the same
During the time they go down
