For Boosin’

Lyrics

He walked up to the bar Ordered up a hard shot like always He's played every honkytonk Could sing any song you want on Broadway And all the locals said he should've had a chance But he took to the bottle The bottle took his hand He could've been a celebrity He almost was in '83 But the music kept changin' And the bottle kept hangin' on It's sad he didn't make it Kind of bad ain't it He never dreamed of losin' Oh, but he couldn't win for boosin' If he had won where would he be Probably not out on the streets Singin' on Broadway Guitar fills his hands But he's a very empty man He choked the wrong way Though all the locals said He could've had a chance Now he watches passers by that could've been his fans He walked up to the bar He ordered up a hard shot like always
