Ooh Ooh baby
Where are you?
Ooh Ooh baby
I’ve been looking for you
In my work not much matters to me
Time is money. All I hear is the clock
ticking around me
She waits t the bar
Hoping he’ll pop in
She knows his kind
She’s had many men
They all say baby let me save you
When in reality, my darlin
They haven’t a clue
Smoke rises to the ceiling in this very bar
Strangers roll in from near and far
Strange how she’s haunted by the memories of the bar
Year after year
Day after day
Night after night
But darlin,
What can you say?
Short skirts
Red nails and lips
Her long hair hangs
pasts her hips
The bartender pours her another drink
As she’s waiting
Bartender doesn’t speak
Just looks her up and down
Bartender is wondering if he’ll ever come around
Some say she’s a hooker
Making money u the night
Some say she quite a looker
Turns headed at 1st sight
It’s nothing she hasn’t hear before
As she gets lost in her thought
A noise breaks her thoughts
It’s the one she’s been waiting for
She smiles as she approaches the door
Bartender perks right up
Man says not this time
I’m just here to pick her up
Bartender nods and doesn’t say much
Watched them leave and get in his truck
Now this wax Friday
A week had went by
Not a word from her
No wherein sight
Bartender clocks in
Starts their shift yet
Once again
Thinks of the girl that used to sit there
Waiting there year after year
Just as the bartender
Wipes down bar
Heard tires pull up
By the door
A cop walk in
No expression
The bar felt very grim
All of a sudden
The bar still
Cop came over,
Said,”Excuse mr but are you Bill?”
Bartender nodded. A knot in his throat.
Cop handed him a hand written note.
And ge read it quietly to him self.
A tear formed in his eye. And rolled down his
cheek. As he read the note, Bill couldn’t speak
The note said, “Hello my old friend.
I’m the girl that would come back again
and again. But you see, my sweet Bill. The man I left with wasn’t who I thought he was.
Should’ve stay with you that night. But. I didn’t, thank you for your kindness. I made a bad mistake. Just so you know if you this note. I will never be awake”
As Bill tried to swallow what he read.
Tears filled his eyes . Then he hung his head.
Cop said “Found her messed up pretty bad. That man’s in jail now. That’s the info I have.”
Cop them nodded and walked away.
Bill had no words to say.
It’s been years now
Since that dreadful night
Please use caution
don’t end up like she did that night
