Man Made A Bar

(album: One Thing At A Time - 2023)

Sat down on a barstool, like a dern fool
'Cause she walked out again
Bartender said I got you
Yeah, 'cause I too, have been in your boots, my friend
Opened up back in '85, got me over my first wife
Been staying busy since the first night
It's a story old as time

God made the world
In seven short days
He said it was good, I bet it was great
Then God made a man, and man got lonely
He said please Lord if I could only
Have an angel to hold in my arms
So God made a girl, his best work of art
Oh, but he didn't make no place to go
When she breaks your heart, so man made a bar

For some guys it's a good time
The half price, half dozen buckets of beer
Some say it's a cover band
That's a cover man, I know why they're here
Didn't go the way he planned it
Damn the devil did some damage

So God made the world
In seven short days
He said it was good, I bet it was great
Then God made a man, and man got lonely
He said please Lord if I could only
Have an angel to hold in my arms
So God made a girl, his best work of art
Oh, but he didn't make no place to go
When she breaks your heart, so man made a bar
Yeah, man made a bar

And sometimes an angel falls too hard
Loses more than just a piece of her heart
And she needs a place to go and make a brand new start

God made the world
In seven short days
He said it was good, I bet it was great
God made a man, man got lonely
He said please Lord if I could only

Have an angel to hold in my arms
So God made a girl, his best work of art
Oh, but he didn't make no place to go
When she breaks your heart, so man made a bar
Man made a bar
Yeah, man made a bar
