There's a loser drunk in a dusty bar on an avenue And it's named for a mountain town Where all the gentlemen drink at the bar There's a loser drunk with an empty glass on a table top And he's stained with self regret While all the cool kids Drink in their cars You'd never know but he had a purpose You'd never know but maybe he had a gift There's a loser drunk in a motel room with a woman Who charges by the hour If she has a name She doesn't share it There's a loser drunk in the bathroom stall of a restaurant But he isn't dreaming, no The door says gentlemen I think it's wrong this time You'd never know but he had a purpose You'd never know but maybe he had a gift ... There's a loser drunk in the winter ground I tell ya kids that's where he wants to be Maybe we only drink so much Just to kill that time
