On That Note: A Bar Song

Nanci Griffith and Tom Russell sing Ian Tyson's "Summer Wages".

In all the beer parlors, all down along main street...

Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, and down
Still aware of everything life carries on without
'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles
Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while




It seems everybody wants what someone else has
There's sorrow enough for all
Just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around's a world grown mean

When Uncle Sam called us up,
We hit that Eastern Sand,
Fought like Hell for three long years,
In that South Asian Land,
We met a few foreign ladies,
Drank a lot of Lukewarm beer,
oh I remember,
But tonight in this old Tuscan bar
You know what? Its so damn good to see you here.
