This Bar Don’t Work Anymore

[Verse 1]

That smoke's supposed to cover you up

And cloud my mind

This drink should be gettin' me drunk

Mm-mm, and gettin' me by

It should be easy to do what I came here for

But the second you walk through the door

[Chorus]

This bar don't work anymore

You're givin' it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missin' you

I was just drinkin' through, baby

It's drivin' me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

That I'm right back where I was before

This bar don't work anymore

[Verse 2]

This crowd's supposed to drown you out

All night long

Some pretty girls supposed to turn things around

Mm-mm, and maybe turn me on

I swore this neon would burn you out for sure

Baby, tell me what I'm paying 'em for?

[Chorus]

This bar don't work anymore

You're givin' it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missin' you

I was just drinkin' through, baby

It's drivin' me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

Yeah, I'm right back where I was before

This bar don't work anymore

[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

They might as well close it down, shut it down

Go 'head and board up the windows and lock the doors

[Chorus]

'Cause this bar don't work anymore

You're givin' it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missin' you

I was just drinkin' through, baby

It's drivin' me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

Still hung up on when I was yours

This bar don't work anymore
