Now my old friend Harry, Never slowed down to marry, he's in sales,
He's gone most of the year
And he smiles thru all his lies,with dollar signs in his eyes,
He orders himself another beer
Now Harry he's a dreamer, A scholar and a schemer, but he'll be there for you when push comes to shove
His mama called him Harold She was one of only two women
that Harry ever loved
The other was a waitress in Cave Creek,Arizona
that broke his heart and tangled up his mind
My old friend Harry, you're lookin kinda scary
and wonders if he's runnin out of time
Now Biloxi's got a sadness like a dark day in December
But Harry recognizes an all forgotten southern town
Thumbin thru the phone book for a name he can't remember,lookin desperate
like a junkie waitin for a fix to come around
Sittin playin blackjack with a hooker and a tourist and a one-eyed dealer winnin every hand
Harry sips Black Label, slumps down at the table,Feelin like a fraction of a man... Feelin like a fraction of a man
He's gone most of the year
