The Girl at the End of the Bar

(John D. Anderson - Lionel A. Delmore)

If you'd ever been drinking

I know that you'd seen her

At the end of the bar all alone

She knows what you're thinking

When you try to approach her

And anything you say might be wrong.

She's not there for company

She don't like to remember

She once let herself go too far

She's not there to complain

She just wants to remain

The girl at the end of the bar.

Who once let herself go too far

Now carries love like a scar

She had so many hard knocks

She don't play the jukebox

She's lived all those sad songs first hand

What's made her so bitter

And why love has quit her

Is because she has loved the wrong man.

The smile she's not wearing

Is the sign she's not caring

And the part of her permanence call

She's not there to complain

She just wants to remain

The girl at the end of the bar.

She's the girl at the end of the bar...
