When I See This Bar (with Eric Church) [Live]

Four months ago I released, I released an album

About a lot of my friends that are here tonight

About all the free spirited souls

That color outside of the lines of their life

Down in the islands

And there are a lot of them here tonight

Celebrating the end of the tour with us

And I wanna introduce a person who I think

That is gonna play this football stadium by himself one day

Mister Eric Church

Give it up

Ain't he great?

Here we go

Well I see the souls of so many friends

And I see us all back here again

With sandy floors and ceiling fans

A Rastafarian, one man band

With songs that fill my memories like a tip jar

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar

Come on, Eric

Well, I see tourists at Christmas time

And I taste beer with a hint of lime

I feel lonely 'cause it's not the same

Different faces and different names

Livin' like pirates out amongst them fox bear stars

Well that's what I see

When I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still

When I walk in this place

And I see a kid comin' into his own

And a man learning to move on

Somehow tryin' to find his way

A dreamer bettin' on blind faith

Chasin' that sun and followin' his heart

Well that's what I see

When I see, when I see, when I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

Time just stands still

When I walk in this place

I wonder where we go from here

That's what I see when I see this bar

Life ain't over but it's always near

That's what I see when I see this bar

I think about all the good times that we've had

That's what I see when I see this bar

Makes me happy and it makes me sad

That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I feel

And that's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see this bar

When I see this bar

We're gonna turn you later

During this Monday night if that's alright

Everybody

Oh, we gonna turn this into a revival tonight

That was the single radio edit

And we thought

That since we were in New England once again

That it's only fitting

To sing the album version tonight

So here we go

A few have moved on back to Maine

Jacksonville and Key Biscayne

A little Conway in there

Some are still livin' the dream

Stuck in still life, it seams

No matter where they've been

Or where they are

Well I see 'em here

When I see this bar

I wonder where we go from here

That's what I see when I see this bar

Life ain't over but it's always near

That's what I see when I see this bar

I think about all the good times that we've had

That's what I see when I see this bar

Makes me happy and it makes me sad

That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I feel

That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see this bar
