Terry Allen Lyrics
"Cocktails For Three"

Cocktails for three
Oh, it's gettin' to me
Yeah, passin' afternoons
Sittin' in these cocktail rooms

Yeah, from nine to five, I'm in the pink
'Cause after work we go for a drink
But he shows up every time just as I clink
Your daiquiri to mine, ohh

Cocktails for three
It's not natural to me
Hey, not for me and you
Should be cocktails for two

Just sittin' here with that fellow and you
Tryin hard to act mellow when I'm blue
Ahhh whoo-whoo

Cocktails for three
It's too kinky for me
Best let it go and be done
Just stick to cocktails for one

Now he's just another lonely business man
Sittin' in a lonely business land
His story is on every jukebox
And his life like his drinkin' is on the rocks
Yeah, his life like his drinkin' is on the rocks
