lyrics
The Bar is Closed
VERSE 1
Heaven knows the bar is closed
And I know not what to do
Liquid courage is what I need
What I need to talk to you
VERSE 2
It may appear I’m in love with beer
Well on this I just disagree
Because I just waited ‘til noon, my dear
And happy hour’s not ‘til three
BRIDGE
You say it makes me hazy, say it makes me lazy
But it’s all because of you
Maybe I am a drunk, and just a bit of a punk
But that ain’t why I do what I do
VERSE 3
So I stood and knocked, but the bar was locked
So I knocked and knocked again
Did you call ahead, to try and stop me dead
‘Cause they will not let me in
BRIDGE
You say it makes me hazy, say it makes me lazy
But it’s all because of you
Maybe I’m a drunk, and just a bit of a punk
But that ain’t why I do what I do
GUITAR SOLO
VERSE 3
Sober now, and I make this vow
I will never roam
Now I see you were right ‘bout me
I’ve been knocking on the devil’s door
No more knocking on the devil’s door!
