Working the corner when the record deal happened
And the week before I found out
I was sleeping on the floor with my new best girl
In a very, very empty house
Wrong kind of non-conformist
That's the case and always be
In a sleeping bag, front of the fireplace
Your girlfriend and me
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
Well, I never knew me a better time and I guess I'll never will
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
Some say they was happy then
Me, I'm happy still

Down at the local canteen, you know the smell of fresh sawdust
When they first throw it on the floor
You keep a rockin' little rhythm from inside the rhythm kitchen
As you're walkin' past the canteen door
A 120 degrees, the good times spreading like humidity
Now here's what I found out
This one belongs in the book or it oughta be
We'll do a shot as we sail out
The authority's implored us
And it happened frequently
In a sleeping bag, front of the fireplace
Your girlfriend and me
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
It's a damn good story and there's still more to tell
Somewhere over the rainbow bar and grill
You say times they ain't got better, maybe they still will
We know all the punchlines
But we still laugh like hell
One thing never changes
Still can't afford the bill
