Beatin’ Around the Bar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, hello stranger In them painted-on Wranglers Oh, what you doing later On the next slow song? And what's that beside you With a strip mall tattoo? What's he really gonna do If you do him wrong? [Chorus] Well, fighting and fucking, that's what keep 'em coming Through them dance hall doors Oh, it is what it is in a town like this What else there to come here for? Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing A sky full of lone damn stars So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar [Verse 2] Here comes the big noise From a Coca-Cola cowboy Oh, he said his name's T-Roy I said, "I'm drunk, how are you?" And I don't think he liked that He tried dancing her back She looked like Rocky in a pearl snap, reached back Slapped him half outta his boots [Chorus] Well, fighting and fucking, that's what keep 'em coming Through them dance hall doors Oh, it is what it is in a town like this What else there to come here for? Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing A sky full of lone damn stars So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Well, fighting and fucking, that's what keep 'em coming Through them dance hall doors Oh, it is what it is in a town like this What else there to come here for? Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing A sky full of lone damn stars So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar [Outro] Ah, drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
