Lyrics
intro verse
Lately She's been absent from our usual haunts Em A7 Em A B
I miss her cheering for me when I'm shooting pool Em A7 G B7
Don't know who to turn to for my usual wants
And it's hard to be happy next to an empty stool
chorus
Who's this Bill W? E riff
Who does he think he is? A B
I swear when I find him E riff
He's going to wish A G B
He never knew her name B E
verse
I overheard her talking on the phone
She said thing's have changed since becoming his "friend"
That she could see now through her former haze
And nasty old habits were coming to an end
verse
Now as a man I've faced some competition
At darts and pool and of course at women
I'd like to see this guy in action
And find out just what it is she sees in him
bridge
How is it fair that I'm competing with C G
This perfect stranger she keeps meeting with D B
verse
Woke up before noon went over staked out her door
I followed her to see just where she goes
Peeking around the corners, ducking into stores
All just to catch her with her new romeo
She headed downtown with a determined stride
Swigging from a Poland Spring, she kept a steady pace
Without so much as a glance inside
She walked right past the bar that used to be our place
I might've seen her with Bill W
But tired and dry, I ducked into that bar
By and by, I'll meet this Bill and when I do
She'll have a chance to see how me and him compare
coda
Me, who could down a case
And chase it with a fifth of Jack
Who sinks three balls every break
Then runs the entire rack
A guy called a regular
At every bar in town
One that charms the ladies
Even when his pants are down
Someone who could drive a truck
Even When he's blacked out
And Wake up safe in bed
Without knowing where he's at
repeat to fade
