Burnin' Both Ends Of The Bar

(album: Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth - 2022)

On the other end of the bar
Drinking what she always drinks
Neon in her hair
Brand-new diamond on her ring
Laughing and singing along to the jukebox songs
She always loves to play

On the other end of the bar
Sitting across from her
Holding on to her hand in that cowboy denim shirt
Damn, that's one lucky SOB
Sitting in my place

She don't know she drives me crazy
Sitting in that corner booth
Where I used to call her "baby"
Said a million "I love you"s
I'll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lighting up the dark
Yeah, she's still got a way
Of setting fire to this ol' heart
Burning both ends of the bar

On this end of the bar
Looking at those bottles on the shelf
Thinking 'bout switching to whiskey
Sitting here kicking myself
Knowing it won't change nothing
'Cause I can tell she's really gone

Yeah, she don't know she drives me crazy
Sitting in that corner booth
Where I used to call her "baby"
Said a million "I love you"s
I'll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lighting up the dark
Yeah, she's still got a way
Of setting fire to this ol' heart
Burning both ends of the bar

Yeah, I'll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lighting up the dark
Yeah, she's still got a way
Of setting fire to this ol' heart
Burning both ends of the bar

Yeah, if they die at all
Old flames, they sure die hard
Burning both ends of the bar
