Main Line Saloon Songtext
von David Ackles

I know a place, it′s a bar that never closes
I recommend you take a friend and hold your noses
What you see won't be the same as any place you′ve been before
And you'll know when you read the name written on the open door

Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody, welcome
Welcome to the Mainline Saloon

Yeah, I've been there, what a lousy place to visit
But try, try not to stare although it isn′t pretty, is it?
All you see are yellow fingers trying to hide the face that crumbles
And you smell the life that lingers in the dying voice that mumbles

Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody, welcome
Welcome to the Mainline Saloon


If you see a girl looking old and kind of dirty
If her name is Sue, give her a whirl
You know she′ll never live to thirty
Never mind the way she bleeds when you take her for a dime
Now, you can't give her what she needs and she needs it all the time

Now welcome, welcome, welcome everybody, welcome
Welcome to the Mainline Saloon

Well, all right, go on in, the door stays open in December
You′ll find a friend within I know 'cause I′m a charter member
Catch me if I'm falling down, hold me up so I can listen
To the angels calling down on the day your arms are christened

Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody, welcome
Welcome, welcome everybody, everybody to the Mainline Saloon
