Keeping Bars In Business

(album: Sayin' What I'm Thinkin' - 2021)

My best friend's ship is sinking
She thinks her man's been cheating
And me, I put my dog down yesterday
And when the walls start falling
I can hear the whiskey calling
Sounds like we could both just use a drink

Ain't that how life goes?
No, we ain't alone

Someone's crying, someone's kissing
Someone's smiling, someone's bitching
Someone's celebrating
While someone's heart is breaking
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinning
We'll be keeping bars in business

There's a couple in a back booth
Just got back from Cancun
Getting Blue Moon drunk in that honeymoon phase
And by the window, there's an old man
With a ring still on his left hand
Even though she's been gone
Ten years to the day

Someone's crying, someone's kissing
Someone's smiling, someone's bitching
Someone's celebrating
While someone's heart is breaking
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinning
We'll be keeping bars in business
Keeping bars in business

Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
No, we ain't alone
No, we ain't alone

Someone's crying, someone's kissing
Someone's smiling, someone's bitching
Someone's celebrating
While someone's heart is breaking
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinning
We'll be keeping bars in business
Keeping bars in business

Yeah, life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
