Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow

[Jim Colyer]

Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes
Wondering why I don't even drink
Wondering why I sit here and think
This desert sun's given me a tan
Seems like this place is all sand
Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes

I spent two weeks in Reno
Hooked up with a showgirl at Harrah's
Had those legs that went on forever
Thought for a while I'd gone to heaven
She spent my money like it was nothing
Then it came to a sudden end
Turned me every which way but loose
Got into a fight with an ex-boyfriend

Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes
Wondering why I don't even drink
Wondering why I sit here and think
This desert sun's given me a tan
Seems like this place is all sand
Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes

Maybe I'll go back to Tennessee
These showgirls are killing me

Solo

Made my way down to Las Vegas
Still thinking about those legs
Made it with a dancer in Jubilee
6 foot 2, made short work of me
Wasn't long her husband found out
That black stud, he knocked me out
Got in my truck, headed for Barstow
Me and this bar stool's got to go

This desert sun's given me a tan
Seems like this place is all sand
Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes
Sitting On A Bar Stool In Barstow
Wondering where all the time goes
