The special is sweet. The barkeep keeps it weaknThere's only bad music and sports on TVnI used to yearn for something the opposite of these:nSomething pure and good and quietnI'm not gonna find it, not herennThe prices are high. So are half the drunksnTrying to see how cheap you can get on a hundred bucksnI'm a long way from home, one among strangersnPlaces like this can be downright dangerous for a man like mennI left my ring in my room, concealed from viewnAmong a dozen little bottles of boozenShe and I could drink a few, never mind the costnMoney you never spend will be money you have lost in the endnnI didn't catch your name. That's very nicenForgive me for my habit of having to ask twicenI see you don't wear a ring, a pretty girl like yourselfnAin't it a shame when a pretty thing just sits on the shelf?
