gonna open a bar

trying to be heard for so many years, just couldn’t get a break
paying my dues, playing the blues, living on give and take
all the rejection, and now in reflection, i see what i must do
get my own place, promote my face and play my songs for you

gonna open a bar,
be your cocktail star
play my songs for you, have a long neck or two
‘cause i’m gonna open a bar

tasty libations, and down home music, says the sign on my door
pour you a bourbon, while i sing like urban, bet you’ll yell for more
i’ll hire a house band, with my songs in demand, this is what i must do open a bar, tune my guitar and share my songs with you

chorus
i’ll play what i wrote, every verse, every note,
no one to please but you
happy hour all night, we can jam ‘til it’s light,
it’s my bar and i’ll party for you

i’ll hire a house band, with my songs in demand,
this is what i must do
open a bar, tune my guitar
and share my songs with you

chorus
