Empty Bar

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)
