Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel
(by Bob Dixson)

Saw you last night in that old bar room
Been awhile since your womanhood was in full bloom
Wish you knew now what you didn?t know then
That your free ride would come to an end
Guess you set your standards to high
Now opportunity done passed you by

Now your scraping Now your scraping
Now your scraping Now your scraping
Now your scraping Now your scraping

You blew it babe
You should?ve married Darrel
Now your scrapping the bottom of the barrel
You waited to long and now the town gone sterile
Now your scraping the bottom of the barrel (x3)

What makes you think you could beat the odds
Time has a funny way of doing it?s job
Beauty fades like the sunset
And now your stuck with what you can get
Do you have a clue? Can?t you take a hint?
What you had has now been spent

Now your scraping Now your scraping
You better stop your playing Now your scraping
Now your scraping Now your scraping

So many times you dodged the arrow
But now your scraping the bottom of the barrel
Your chances are getting slim to narrow
Now your scraping the bottom of the barrel (x3)



(middle)

You always thought you could have your way
That was true until one day
You looked around and you were out of time
Now you find you been left behind

Now your scraping Now your scraping
Now your scraping Now your scraping
Now your scraping Now your scraping
Thought you were a queen looking for her pharaoh
Now your scrapping the bottom of the barrel
The Nile?s run dry and your future?s in peril
Now your scraping the bottom of the barrel (x3)
