Lyrics:
It Ain’t Just A Bar
There’s an old wanted poster of Jesse James and Billy the Kid
And Johnny Cash wrote ‘I was here’ on the toilet lid
There’s a wall of dollar bills from all around the world
And they ring a bell when they get a tip from a pretty girl
From Outlaws to beauty queens
Never know just who you’ll meet
It ain’t just a bar
It’s the soul and the heart of this small town
It’s more than four walls, a million last calls, a lost and found
Sinners and saints
Everybody knows your name
That neon sign shines like the brightest star
It ain’t just a bar
My Grandad met my Grandma here back in ‘68
Their names are carved in a heart in the booth where they ate
I can almost picture them sitting here from time to time
Raise a glass, run my fingers cross them worn out lines
Under those wooden beams
Shared more than drinks an dreams
It ain’t just a bar
It’s the soul and the heart of this small town
It’s more than four walls, a million last calls, a lost and found
Sinners and saints,
Everybody knows your name
That neon sign shines like the brightest star
It ain’t just a bar
BRIDGE:
We packed the town hall, and stood our ground
When there was talk of tearing it down
It ain’t just a bar
It’s the soul and the heart of this small town
It’s more than four walls, a million last calls, a lost and found
Sinners and saints,
Everybody knows your name
That neon sign shines like the brightest star
It ain’t just a bar
It ain’t just a bar
It ain’t just a bar, mmm, mmm
