blues tune with some harmonic
Story behind the song
His wife left him so he hangs out in his favorite bar shooting pool, smoking and drinking beer.
Lyrics
V1
I’m in the Fortune Club
Drinking and shooting pool
Since she left me
That’s all I want to do
V2
Cause she’s got the kids
She got the best car
and I hit the skids
I got this damn bar
V3
You can find me here most of the time
With an old cue stick and alcohol
a Marlboro burning in my lips
in a game of 8 ball.
Chorus
I got the alcohol buzz
I got the 8 ball blues
The smell of cigarettes beer
And nothing to lose
(out)
I got the 8 ball blues
And nothing to lose
V4
I love the quarter tables
with there faded green felt
black marks on the rails
from a cigarette melt.
(instrumental bridge)
V5
Buds are stacked up from winning
My only game
I’ll have another drink chock up the stick
and rack em up again
