Slim Joe's bar is not the place to be
sharing drinks with cockroaches
the glasses are as greasy as the bartenders hair
and fights always break out every time I am there

So many shady characters with darting eyes
most look like they have spent time in jail
no carpets just saw dust on the floor
I think it's for soaking up the blood that gets spilt

The television is always on the news channel
so the customers can see if they are on the wanted list
and there's a ***** in the corner smiling
I know she's selling more than just a kiss

But this is the only bar in this forsaken town
it's the only place to lay low to the ground
dark and dingy stale beer on tap
not the best place to be when you're feeling crap.
