Big Mother Gig - Hey Bartender

Teary eyes dripping with pain and the days we always hear about, they never came
I've never known the feelings they all talk about and
I know I'll never be the one to let them out

So I grab myself a barstool and a cigarette
Well, I've never been to Hollywood, at least not yet
Maybe it'll happen someday but until then I'll say
Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling
Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling

Teary eyes dripping with alcohol and the way I screwed it up again
I don't know where I'm going as I fall down the drain
All these faces, all these places, they all look the same

So I grab myself a barstool and a cigarette
Well, I've never been to Hollywood, at least not yet
Maybe it'll happen someday but until then I'll say
Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling
Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling

Teary eyes dripping with nothing when there's nothing left
Teary eyes dripping with dreary dreams
The days went by so goddamned fast, I couldn't make them last

I grab myself a barstool and a cigarette
I ain't never been to Hollywood or even left the Midwest
Maybe it'll happen someday, maybe it'll happen someday

Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling
Hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me a new feeling
I said, hey bartender, can you take from me this dollar and give me another bottle
Can you take from me this dollar and give me a new life
Hey bartender, how about one more for the road?
