The Beer, the Band, and the Barstool

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He walks in Orders up a round, how you been? My old friend The band kicks off The same old dance, the same old worn-out songs But he sings along [Pre-Chorus] He's gonna stay here 'til they make him leave 'Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need [Chorus] One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here One'll 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 [Verse 2] Corner booth A blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue Hey, how are you? Just by chance Are you here alone? How 'bout a dance? And she took his hand [Pre-Chorus] He hopes she'd stay, but always knew she'd leave But he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need [Chorus] One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here One'll 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] One'll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear One'll help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up here One'll 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 losing you The beer, the band and the barstool [Outro] And the barstool
