The evening falls, the room is too tight.
Something’s forcing me into the night.
I don’t mind where, I just know I have to go.
The devil’s poisoned my radio.
Not a single song I used to know.
I got a bluesy mood and I’m all alone.
But I won’t call you, honey, even if I fall apart.
I got a cool solution
to cool this burning ’round my heart.

Rocks rollin’ in the booze.
Two doubles, I could use.
One to pleasure, one to friends.
Tonight
I have time on my hands.
One shot to lose the count.
one to wash the trouble down.
It’s good to be on the loose,
watching
the rocks rollin’ in the booze.

The smoke is blending with the noise.
A worn piano and a worn out voice.
I’m a stranger at home in this loser’s bar.
She’s too blond and she’s got a smile
betraying that she wants to be mine.
It won’t get through, ’cause I’m still not over you.
But I won’t call you, honey, even if I fall apart.
I got a cool solution
to cool this burning ’round my heart.

Rocks rollin’ in the booze.
Two doubles I could use.
One to pleasure, one to friends.
Tonight
I have time on my hands.
One shot to lose the count.
one to wash the trouble down.
It’s good to be on the loose,
watching
the rocks rollin’ in the booze.
