The Beer, the Band, and the Barstool

He walks in, orders up a round

How you been, my old friend?

The band kicks off, the same ole dance

The same ole worn out songs but he sings along

He's gonna stay here 'til they make him leave

'Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need

One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear

One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres

One will hold him up, when love has let him down

They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool

The Beer, the Band and the Barstool

Corner booth, a blonde with lonely eyes

A shade of blue, "Hey, how are you?"

Just by chance, are you here alone? How about a dance?

And she took his hand

He hoped she'd stay, but always knew she'd leave

But he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need

One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear

One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres

One will hold him up, when love has let him down

They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool

The Beer, the Band and the Barstool

Now he last call, lights a cigarette and orders up one more

Pays his tab, knows he'll be back, 'cause he's been here before

One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear

One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres

One will hold him up, when love has let him down

They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool

They go hand-in-hand with losin' you

The Beer, the Band and the Barstool

And the Barstool
