Beer In A Bar

(album: Heart On Ice - 2023)

Man it'd been a long day
I was sitting in that stand still out on the highway
20 miles from the house, looking out at the brake lights
'Bout to lose my mind
Like a sign from the good Lord
I saw a cold beer here, next right, high up on a billboard
So I hit the shoulder fast, and I put that old Ford
Right there by the front door

Yeah, I walked in, sat down
Was just gonna have one round
Kill a cold one and a little time
Little did I know those green eyes
Would hit me out of the blue
Yeah, I found you in the neon stars
Hell, I was just looking for a beer in a bar

It was just a little small talk
And a couple shots at an off the highway hole in the wall
That turned into a dance, that turned to last call
Yeah, it's crazy, ain't it

I walked in, sat down
Was just gonna have one round
Kill a cold one and a little time
Little did I know those green eyes
Would hit me out of the blue
Yeah I found you in the neon stars
Hell, I was just looking for a beer in a bar

Just a re-route, detour
Now you're mine and I'm yours
And it probably woulda never happened
And I'd still be sitting in traffic but

I walked in, sat down
Was just gonna have one round
Kill a cold one and a little time
Little did I know those green eyes
Would hit me out of the blue
Yeah, I found you in the neon stars
Yeah, when I walked in
Wasn't looking for someone to steal my heart
Yeah, I was just looking for a beer in a bar

Hell, I was just looking for a beer in a bar
