Talk to every stranger that walks in this old place
There's more of them every year as the old friends fade away
Maybe it's lost its sparkle, yeah, maybe I lost my shine
Just a couple old lost souls sitting here wasting time

Well, Sally fell on hard times at the bar on Christmas Day
Doing coke in the bathroom, yeah, chatting me up all day
Guess this is my family now, the company that I keep
She loved this city, but there ain't no love left in it for me
She loved this city, but there ain't no love left in it for me
And you can shine up the sidewalks, you can sweep up the streets
But, ain't no way to get the grime and grit, yeah, out of me
'Cause over time, that old bar and me just creaks
She loved this city, but there ain't no love left in it for me

Talking to the bar man as he pours another round
I can see he feels sorry for me as I try to keep it down
You're buried deep, you're under lock and key
That old feeling
And you can shine up the sidewalks, you can sweep up the streets
But ain't no way to get the grime and grit, yeah, out of me
'Cause over time, that old bar and me just creaks
She loved this city, but there ain't no love left in it for me
She loved this city, but there ain't no love left in it for me
Alright
