Build You A Bar

(album: Miles And Miles Of You - 2022)

If I could build you a bar, it'd have a hundred kinds of beers
And all your friends from home, the ones you haven't seen in years
It'd have all the best tequila, and your song would always play
If I could build you a bar
I would have built it yesterday

Cause if I could build you a bar
Maybe I could buy you a drink
And if I could buy you a drink
You might stay for another round
And if you stayed another round
Maybe you'd stay a little longer
Maybe I could get your number
You could write it down
Maybe I could walk you to your car

If I could build you a bar, well there'd be room to dance
The whiskey would come from Tennessee and the wine would come from France
There'd be all kinds of people, all different walks of life
If I could build you a bar
Damn wouldn't that be nice

If I could build you a bar
Maybe I could buy you a drink
And if I could buy you a drink
You might stay for another round
And if you stayed another round
Maybe you'd stay a little longer
Maybe I could get your number
You could write it down

I don't know my way around a hammer and nail
But I know how to write a song
Maybe one day you'll hear this
You might sing along
You might sing along

If I could build you a bar, anywhere in any town
It'd be somewhere on the beach, so you could watch the sun go down
It'd be loud enough to get a little wild but quiet enough to talk
It'd be a little run down and far from perfect but close enough to walk

Oh, if I could build you a bar
Maybe I could buy you a drink
And if I could buy you a drink
You might stay for another round
And if you stayed another round
Maybe you'd stay a little longer
Maybe I could get your number
You could write it down

Maybe I could walk you to your car
Every story needs a simple place to start
If I could build you a bar
If I could build you a bar
