It was an empty bar
The kind of place that doesn’t try too hard
Let’s you in no matter who you are
I love an empty bar
It was a lonely night
No congregating, no one left in sight
Surrounded by the buzzing neon lights
In this empty bar
They say that mercy falls as a gentle rain
I wondered in here
To pick myself up again
Here I sit covered in scars
Talking to you in an empty bar
What we’ve done and who we are
No one to judge us in an empty bar
He was a worn old man
Stumbled in like he could barely stand
Started talking about Vietnam
His broken Purple Heart
They say that mercy falls as a gentle rain
So, I’ll have a whiskey
And pour a double for my friend
Here we sit, covered in scars
Telling our stories in an empty bar
I love an empty bar
Take me to an empty bar
I love an empty bar
Take me to an empty bar
~music break~
So show people mercy
And try to understand their pain
I know your story
Cause you and I are both the same
Here we sit, covered in scars
Toasting each other in an empty bar
Round the world, wherever you are
Eight billion souls in an empty bar
I love an empty bar (Ohhh)
Take me to an empty bar (Take me in your heart)
I love an empty bar (Ohhh)
Take me to an empty bar (Ohhh I love it)
I love an empty bar (Tell me all about it)
Take me to an empty bar (Take me in your heart)
I love an empty bar (Ohhh)
Take me to an empty bar (Ohhh)
