Lyrics

Good Morninʼ Bartender

good morninʼ bartender, saw your light was on
neon like a beacon in the cold and rainy dawn
I wonder do you know the time,
the day, the month, the year?
help me to remember how it was that I got here
her name was Lily-Agnes ... or maybe Jean or Joan
fell asleep in Austin, woke up in San Antone
I know youʼve got your problems
your own crazy mixed-up fear
but help me to remember how it was that I got here
thereʼs the sound of laughter in the moonlight
the smell of perfume clutters up my brain
but something ʻbout the pieces donʼt fit right
itʼs something I wish I could explain ...
but I canʼt explain ... no, I canʼt explain
good morninʼ bartender, saw your light was on
neon like a beacon in the cold and rainy dawn
I wonder do you know the time,
the day, the month, the year?
help me to remember how it was that I got here
