Closing Down the Bars
One more night in a guitar town
Four lane rolling on lonesome sound
Work all night baby drive all day
Don’t know nothin’ about a better way
Got a beat up Gibson and a broke down Ford
Gets me there and back with just three chords
Motel coffee down a long highway
New York City west to Sante Fe
Two headlights runnin’ down the rain
Roadhouse dog pullin’ at my chain
Just a few good acres ‘neath the harvest moon
Closin’ down the bars, countin’ on the stars, comin’ back to you Saving every dollar just to keep the farm
Field of dreams back behind the barn
Brown eyed beauty in her down home boots
That’s enough for me to put down roots
Two headlights runnin’ down the rain
Roadhouse dog pullin’ at my chain
Just a few good acres under that ole moon
Closin’ down the bars, countin’ on the stars, comin’ back to you Inst oooooo
One more road, give the devil his due
One eye on the door leading back to you
Just a few good acres under that ole moon
Closin’ down the bars, countin’ on the stars, comin’ back to you
Two headlights runnin’ down the rain
Roadhouse dog pullin’ at my chain
Just a few good acres under that ole moon
Closin’ down the bars, countin’ on the stars, comin’ back to you Tag ooooooo
