Beatin’ Around the Bar

by Tyler Halverson

Lyrics
Well, hello stranger
In them painted-on Wranglers
Oh, what you doing later
On the next slow song?
And what's that beside you
With a strip mall tattoo?
What's he really gonna do
If you do him wrong?
Well, fighting and ****ing, that's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing
A sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
Here comes the big noise
From a Coca-Cola cowboy
Oh, he said his name's T-Roy
I said, "I'm drunk, how are you?"
And I don't think he liked that
He tried dancing her back
She looked like Rocky in a pearl snap, reached back
Slapped him half outta his boots
Well, fighting and ****ing, that's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing
A sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
Well, fighting and ****ing, that's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving 'til somebody's seeing
A sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
Ah, drink it like you mean it, quit beating around the bar
