zach bryan - the great american bar scene (live from philadelphia) lyrics

Loading...

[introduction (speaking)]
i, um, i released a record this year, it’s called “the great american bar scene”
and this a song i wrote called “the great american bar scene”

[verse]
i lost my money to some dirty old bookie
way up in philly, he was a bad man
but you can’t bet your life on the table
when you’ve got yourself a bad hand
so i went and got my good friend mickey
and we made ourselves a bold stand
wound up bleedin’ on the bar floor
and we don’t bet on ball no more

[speaking]
go birds!

[refrain]
where thе bets are tough and bartendеrs mean
the great philadelphian bar scene

[verse 2]
my brother from tulsa has got himself a warrant
but he’s on the run up in cheyenne
they hemmed me up and asked me some questions
but i ain’t no d+mn rat man
put cuffs on so tight he started bleedin’
from his wrist down through to his right hand
[refrain]
put “state trooper” up on the record machine
it’s the great philadelphian bar scene

[verse 3]
neon lightin’, wooden floors lightly
as her feet quietly slide across
tough boys have all came and went
she’s a+heaven+sent and i’m at a loss
so if you’ve got the time, i’ve got the quarter
and a two+steppin’ song called “hey porter”

[refrain]
why does love always feel like a fever dream
in the great pennsylvanian bar scene?

[verse 4]
my heart stays hurtin’ and hands stay workin’
and me, i’m just a sinnin’ man
i’ve tried like h+ll to keep my health
treat others well and understand

[refrain]
why life’s unfair, uncertain and mean
in the great philadelphian bar scene
