He walks in, orders up around, how you been, my old friend? The band kicks off, the same old dance, the same old worn out songs, but he sings along He's gonna stay here till they make him leave Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One will help him drown it out to how to wind up here One will hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken hearted fool The band, the band and the bar stool Corner booth, a blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue Hey, how are you? Just by chance, are you here alone? How about a dance? And she took his hand He hoped she'd stay but always knew she'd leave But he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One will help him drown it out to how to wind up here One will hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken hearted fool The band, the band and the bar stool Now he lights car lights, a cigarette and orders up one more Pays his tab, knows he'll be back cause he's been here before One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One will help him drown it out to how to wind up here One will hold him up when love has let him down They do the best they can for a broken hearted fool They go hand in hand with losing you The band, the band and the bar stool The band, the band and the bar stool
