Barstool

[Intro] ...four five six [Verse 1] Old Man on a Bar Stool Watching tv He got up and came over to sit closer to me He said you look familiar To someone I knew But when we were your age we were older than you Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen To us there was nothing but girls and machines Jimmy got married And I went to war I still don’t know what we were doing it for [Bridge] And if you’ll buy me a drink A turkey on ice Then I could give you some advice      [Chorus] You just stay in the bar    For as long as you can     Cos’ as long as your drinking Then you’ve got the world in your hand      [Instrumental] [Verse 2] There’s no shame in hanging Your world by a string You know there’s no harm in not thinking a thing But trying to find a place for yourself in this world Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl [Bridge] If you’ll trade me a drink For a story or two Then you’ll know what you need to do    [Chorus] You just stay in the Bar     For as long as you can       You know love is for sissies It’s wisky that makes you a man      [Interlude] [Verse 3] Now the old man got up And stumbled out in the street He’d been drinking all day and left his bar tab with me I didn’t have the money To cover his bill But I found me a man who looked like me younger still and said [Bridge] Buy me a drink And I’ll tell you a tale About the old man who taught me so well   [Chorus] Who said Stay in the Bar    For as long as you can    Well I know your a friend I can tell by the shakes in your hand You just Stay in the Bar       For as long as you dare   As long as you tipping Then you’ve got a good friend somewhere
