In the backroom of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw himEverything was hidden by all the greasy hair he was inNever looking up, he seemed so sad I tried to offer himMy shot of whiskey but he said I only drink ginWe sat there quietly purposely ignoring the roomHe smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and tornEverlasting glances left open ended chancesBut he stole my heart when he ordered a double for meIn the back room of the barIn the back room of the barWe made a great couple me and himCause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks ginWell that's the way it is with himWent to the ladies room, when I returned to my chairHis hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhereTook out a photo of an old RomeoThrew it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my kneeWe played these games where we go through the whole alphabetHe'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie JulepWent through an Artillery, Caruso, and a Diamond FizzFallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the darkIn the back room of the barIn the back room of the barWe made a great couple me and himCause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks ginLast call came right at once, glasses were empty and dryWe got our second wind but all we had was a dimeDidn't even seem to care, the bartender unawareWe jumped overthe counter, took off with our hands full of boozeIn the back room of the barIn the back room of the barWe made a great couple me and himCause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin (x2)
