I've been known to get stoned Clean out of my mind And I've been carried through them doors Way too many times But if I can make it to the job tomorrow Around five I'll be wearing a smile 'Cause when they ring the bell I'll cut a trail To this place called the Bottom of the Pile It's just a bar just a million Filled with smoke that'll make you blind Where the women know the words to every song On the jukebox that's never quiet Where the air is stale from the smell of beer You get used to after a while It was built with more Than nails and boards This place called the Bottom of the Pile I was seventeen when I heard About 'em dancing on a hardwood floor And every time I tried to get in there Lord, I couldn't get past the door Since I've turned twenty-one I don't leave until I hear last call But that was years ago Now everybody knows I'm down at the Bottom of the Pile It's just a bar just a million Filled with smoke that'll make you blind Where the women know the words to every song On the jukebox that's never quiet Where the air is stale from the smell of beer You get used to after a while It was built with more Than nails and boards This place called the Bottom of the Pile It was built with more Than nails and boards This place called the Bottom of the Pile
