Bought the Bar

Verse 1

Clean guitar and warbling voice

Eighteen and they threw us outSaid come back when you're somebodyNow the sign out front says my nameAnd the stools are always emptyI sit in the one that was yours

Pre-Chorus

Money moves so fast around hereAnd the people move faster

Chorus

So I bought the barWhere they wouldn't let us inDrinking alone in my own placeSo I bought the bar

Verse 2

I called you when the papers clearedYou said, that's real good, manThen the line went quietGuess we both got busy

Pre-Chorus

Money moves so fast around hereAnd the people move faster

Chorus

808s and live drums enter

So I bought the barWhere they wouldn't let us inDrinking alone in my own placeSo I bought the bar

Bridge

Half-time, voice up close

I'd trade the whole damn deed tonightFor one round like we used to

Final Chorus

Lush and full, melodic yelps

So I bought the barWhere they wouldn't let us inDrinking alone in my own placeSo I bought the barSo I bought the barWhere they wouldn't let us inDrinking alone in my own placeSo I sold the bar
