Janice At The Hotel Bar

[00:12.55] She believes in face cream at the Walgreens and ruby-red lips
[00:19.69] She'd take a vodka over dessert, sugar goes straight to your hips
[00:26.33] And she don't smoke cigarettes 'cause it ain't lady-like
[00:32.52] She'll cuss like a sailor, she ain't afraid to fight
[00:38.65] She mows her own lawn and talks on her landline
[00:45.01] She's got a granddaughter, still single, can't say she's surprised
[00:51.78] Eats sardines by the can and berries from a vine
[00:57.97] Be careful with the truth, girl, but don't you ever lie
[01:03.32] And stay off the pills
[01:06.33] But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
[01:12.13] And pay all your bills
[01:15.72] But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
[01:22.19] Make good love, good company
[01:25.22] Drink good wine, make good coffee
[01:28.74] Keep your chin up, but every once in a while
[01:33.28] Have a good cry
[01:35.45] Well, go on and make a good livin', girl, don't forget
[01:40.52] To make a good life
[01:47.43] She says all men are babies and that's just how they roll
[01:54.69] They'll drive you crazy like a run in your hose
[02:00.10] One day, you might want one, make sure he's your best friend
[02:07.20] 'Cause if he can make you laugh, you might just make it to the end
[02:12.84] Stay off the pills
[02:15.96] But get on the pill if you ain't ready to start a family
[02:22.16] And pay all your bills
[02:25.20] But give some away, all that money won't make you happy
[02:31.73] Make good love, good company
[02:34.89] Drink good wine, raise good babies
[02:38.49] Keep your chin up, ain't nothin' wrong with makin' a good wife
[02:45.07] Well, go on and make a good livin', girl, don't forget
[02:49.93] To make a good life
[02:57.13] And we were talkin' like old friends, down at that hotel bar
[03:03.25] She said a glass of red every day is damn good for the heart
[03:09.68] And she said I'm not tryin' to preach, but it's just my own two cents
[03:15.95] That the prize is lookin' back and knowin' it was all time well spent
[03:23.29] Paris in the spring, in 1973
[03:28.98] She said if there is a Heaven, well, that's right where I'll be
[03:35.04] We said our goodbyes
[03:37.87] She gave me a wink and grabbed her coat to leave
[03:44.01] I won't ever forget everythin' Janice said to me
[03:53.87] Make good love, good company
[03:56.98] Drink good wine, make good coffee
[04:00.71] Make a life so good that you ain't gotta live it twice
[04:07.07] Go on and make a good livin', girl, don't forget
[04:12.01] To make a good life
[04:18.05] Go on and make a good life
[04:21.95]
