Alive and Alone

I see you there at the Brass Rail Bar

Somebody just asked you what sign you are

And I see you're thinkin' you maybe should've stayed home

But you're tired of being alive and alone

In your brand new hairdo, you look real fine

I hear you toast yourself, today you're twenty-nine

And you're riding on what the future brings

An honest man who wants the simple things.

There's Tiffany lamps here to brighten up the gloom

The conversation sounds like a locker room

Where will you find love, you're living in a tiny world

And at the office they call you an old fashioned girl

You sit so silent, sipping at a beer

Catching your reflection in a tinted mirror

And you shopped all day for that brand new dress

What a price to pay, for settling for less

I see you there at the Brass Rail Bar

Somebody just asked you what sign you are

And I see you're wishin' you woulda just stayed home

But you're tired of being alive and alone
