Lyrics
SINGIN' IN BARS
screwin’ in a screw ‘s nothing i can do
don’t possess the skills to be your mailman
of all my professions
there’s not one i had success in
though some say i got a knack for getting canned
i love singing in bars
my kind of job
takes just a couple of hours
i’m good with diggin a livin
out the bottom of a jar
i love singing in bars
i love singing in bars
momma wanted me to be a doctor
stay in our hometown become a family man
though college wasn’t my vocation
still got a lower education
playing on the road too long with a cover band
(Repeat Chorus)
playing a different joint
every night ‘s the
right thing for my well being
where i can forget
all my regrets
while i’m gettin’ good as it gets
sittin’ alone and drinking
(Repeat Chorus)
a bartender last week called me a has been
told him well that’s better than being a never was
bro there’s a lot of you
so i’ve heard my share of boos
thank god lately i’m getting a lot more applause
(Repeat Chorus)
(end)
