Lyrics
Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
I thought of going back to school for maximum promotion
I 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 dancer
You know I went to see the gypsy
But nobody can fix me
I came here for the water
But I was misinformed
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Anywhere and anytime
I introduced myself and told a couple
Stupid jokes to break the tension
They say the best of comedians often battle with depression
It's gonna take some time but pretty
Soon you know I'm gonna do my best work
And then I'm gonna walk away and tell you that it don't hurt
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
If only you could hear me now
If 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 away
I had a dream
Bar-life
Man whatever gets you through
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Singing those cowboy tunes
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Anywhere and anytime
Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
I thought of going back to school for maximum promotion
I 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 dancer
You know I went to see the gypsy
But nobody can fix me
I came here for the water
But I was misinformed
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Anywhere and anytime
I introduced myself and told a couple
Stupid jokes to break the tension
They say the best of comedians often battle with depression
It's gonna take some time but pretty
Soon you know I'm gonna do my best work
And then I'm gonna walk away and tell you that it don't hurt
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
If only you could hear me now
If 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 away
I had a dream
Bar-life
Man whatever gets you through
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Singing those cowboy tunes
Bar-life
So many of us going down
Thinking 'bout bar-life
Anywhere and anytime
Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
