Empty Bar Blues (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)

You promised me baby that you'd meet me tonight

Now I'm sitting here drinking all alone I cry

You left me stranded, I got nothing to do

Now just me and you bartender,

with those empty bar blues

 

I'm feeling so down, pour me another drink 

Cause the girl of mine left me in the brink

She ain't showing up, that's why I'm drinking with you

Just you and me bartender,

and those empty bar blues

 

Five foot two and a body to kill 

she's got me as her prisoner,

cause I've lost my will

She uses me up and then she takes my cash

Then tosses me away just like a piece of trash

 

I should've known better then to be her fool

But I was blown away by all her kisses cool

Straight through the heart,

shot me through and through

But Now it's me and you bartender,

and these empty bar blues 

Tell me baby why it pleases you so, 

you got me spinning dizzy that I just don't know

The reasons baby, that you do what you do

Now I'm left with the bartender,

and these empty bar blues 

 

Your dressed like a princess but I can really see

underneath disguises you're an evil queen

Practicing that voodoo that you do so well

I'm doing what I'm doing cause I'm under your spell

 

Clock strikes midnight and I'm still all alone

Just a ragged dog that's still searching for his bone

Where are you baby, won't you give me clue

Guess it's me and you bartender,

and these empty bar blues
