Invitation To The Blues Lyrics - The Well - Jennifer Warnes

Well, she's up against the register 

An apron and a spatula 

With yesterday's deliveries 

And tickets for bachelors 

She's a moving violation 

From her conk down to her shoes 

But she's just an invitation to the blues 

But you feel like cagney 

And she looks like Rita Hayworth 

At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore 

You wonder if she might be single 

She's a loner, likes to mingle 

Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue 

She says how you gonna like'em 

Medium or scrambled? 

Any way is the only way 

Be careful not to gamble 

On a guy with a suitcase 

And a ticket getting out here 

It's tired bus station 

And an old pair of shoes 

Ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues

HOT SONG: TWICE - 'Feel Special' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

But you can't take your eyes off her 

Get another cup of java 

And it's just the way she pours it for you 

Joking with the customers 

Oh mercy, Mr. Percy! 

There ain't nothing back in jersey 

But a broken down jalopy 

Of a man i left behind 

And a dream that i was chasing 

A battle with booze 

An open invitation to the blues 

Ah, but she's had a sugar daddy 

And a candy apple caddy 

A bank account and everything 

Accustomed to the finer things 

He left her for a socialite 

He didn't love her except at night 

And then he's drunk 

And never even told her that he cared 

So she took the registration 

Car keys and her shoes 

Left with an invitation to the blues 

Now there's continental trailways leaving 

Local bus tonight, good evening 

You can have my seat 

I'm sticking round here for a while 

Get a room at squire 

The filling station's hiring 

And I can cat here every night 

What the hell have I got to lose 

Got a crazy sensation 

Go or stay, I gotta choose 

I'll accept your invitation to the blues
