Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
I thought of going back to school for maximum promotionI fell into a spell and then I took off like a man without an answer
Now I wanna be back home but I'm married to a dancerYou know I went to see the gypsy but nobody can fix me
I came here for the water but I was misinformedBar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, anywhere in any townI introduced myself and told a couple stupid jokes to break the tension
They say the best of comedians often battle with depressionIt's gonna take some time but pretty soon you know I'm gonna do my best work
Then I'm gonna walk away and tell you that it don't hurtBar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, if only you could hear me nowIf you want it you can get it
If you want it for a holiday you can get away
There's a man in the office and he's looking awayI had a dreamBar life, man whatever gets you through
Thinking about bar life, singing those cowboy tunesBar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, anywhere in any townOnce upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
