VERS 2:           
Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
He  gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But theres someplace that he'd rather be
He says, bill, I be-lieve this is killing me.
As a  smile ran a-way from his face
Well Im sure that I could be a movie star
If   I could get out of this place


VERS 3: 
Its a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me they've been comin to see
To   for-get about life for a while    
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin' here?
