  It's nine o'clock on a Saturday  

  The regular crowd shuffles in  

  There's an old man sittin' next to me 

  Makin' love to his tonic and gin

  He says: "Son, can you play me a memory?  

  I'm not really sure how it goes  

  But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete 

  When I wore a younger man's clothes"

  And you've got us feelin' alright

  Now John at the bar is a friend of mine 

  He gets me my drinks for free  

  And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke 

  But there's some place that he'd rather be

  He says: "Bill, I believe this is killing me"  

  As the smile ran away from his face  

  "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star  

  If I could get out of this place"

  Now Paul is a real estate novelist  

  Who never had time for a wife  

  And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy 

  And probably will be for life

  And the waitress is practicing politics  

  As the businessmen slowly get stoned  

  Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness  

  But it's better than drinkin' alone

  It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday  

  And the manager gives me a smile  

  'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see  

  To forget about life for a while

  And the piano, it 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?"
