lyrics

On a January day, in the shrill Ohio cold
I strolled into a bar to quell my fears of growing old
To poison the inception of this bright and angry day
Oh, I ordered an old fashioned and I drank my pains away
I ordered an old fashioned and I drank my pains away

One went down without a fuss, so another was bound to come
But the girl behind the bar was fighting off the local bum
He swore at her and then he broke his glass upon the wall
Then the liquor took ahold of me and I began the brawl
The liquor took ahold of me and I began the brawl

I didn't land a single blow, though I tried my very best
He laughed and then he landed seven blows upon my chest
I staggered for a moment, then I hit the wooden floor
The bum gave me the bird before he stumbled out the door
The bum gave me the bird before he stumbled out the door

When I stood back up again, I turned to the girl behind the bar
Her eyes were red with tears, and her mouth was quite ajar
She spoke, and for a moment I did think I heard her say
Have another good old fashioned, boy, and drink your pains away

But she kicked me out the bar to face this January day
