[Lyric] Deep End of the Bar (Mark Insley)

[Verse 1]
The cops are in the parking lot, I'm much too drunk to drive
The band is packing up their stuff, it must be closing time
There's a dusty velvet Elvis and a sign that says Lone Star
I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar

Well, I guess I ought to call Marie just to let her know
See, I went out for some cigarettes about three weeks ago
And I wonder what she misses most, her Camels or her car
But I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar

[Chorus]
So pick em up and drink em down
This is the last and final round
Where everybody soon forgets your name
And your life it goes down the drain

[Verse 2]
Well, ol' Bill there, he's a cowboy but he's never rode the range
The waitress, she's an actress but she's never been on stage
And old Elvis keeps on starin', a sign that says Lone Star
But I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
[Chorus]
So pick em up and drink em down
This is the last and final round
Where everybody soon forgets your name
And your life it goes down the drain

[Verse 3]
Well, this place could make Fellini look like ring around the rose
My love life's a disaster, my job's in the commode
So pour another cold one, a pickle in a jar
'Cause I'm just treadin' water at the deep end of the bar
