Single bars and single women

With a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning

Looking for what they can find

For a man they won't remember

For a night they can't forget

Do you come to this place often?

May i light your cigarette?

Drinkin' beer in amarillo

Passing time and swaping jokes

Hoping for a new beginning

But beginning to lose hope

And you're waiting for that moment

When a glance becomes a stare

Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?

Haven't i met you somewhere?



Find a matchbook in the morning

With a name and number scrawled

When you phone, a woman answers

And you wish you'd never called

Oh, they're friendly when they meet you

But they're strangers when they go

Ahh, do you mind if i come join you?

Would you like to dance one more?



And it's gettin' near to closing

And the seconds pass like years

Lots of friends to share the laughter

Not a one to share the tears



Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box

Cause you know every song it plays

Can i drop you off at my place?

Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?

You gotta twenty in your pocket

Got your toothbrush in your purse

Life could get a whole lot better

But it better not get worse
