Beatin’ Around the Bar

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?

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

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

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

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

Ah, drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
