Lullaby for a Barfly
​
V1
10 pm, and everyone’s here
They’ve got me a spot, and my name on a beer
It’s a cash only dive, as the sign makes clear
Good friends and memories that I hold dear
PC1
So bartender, keep our glasses full
We won’t stop til’ he’s under
Under the table
CH1
So take one down and pass it around
Not ready for the night to end
If we go too far, there’s always more bars
That my new friends recommend
So have one more and settle a score
There’s whiskey and money to spend
Cause this here’s a lullaby for all of those barflies
That I call my friends
​
V2
Shoeless Joe’s telling me all there is to learn
“It’s not peer pressure kid, it’s just your turn”
So may you live forever, may I never die
We’re not being rude, that’s an Irish Goodbye
PC2
Syd’s stumblin’ in, from the back alley
A smile on her face singing
“Boys, it’s time to rally!”
CH2
So take one down and pass it around
Not ready for the night to end
If we go too far, there’s always more bars
That my new friends recommend
So have one more and settle a score
There’s whiskey and money to spend
Cause this here’s a lullaby for all of those barflies
That I call my friends
​
BR
Well if this is last call, let’s make it count
Raise your glass and
Make a toast and
Let it out
CH3
So take one down and pass it around
Not ready for the night to end
If we go too far, there’s always more bars
That my new friends recommend
So have one more and settle a score
There’s whiskey and money to spend
Cause this here’s a lullaby for all of those barflies
That I call
I said this here’s a lullaby for all of those barflies
That I call my friends
Time in the Sun
V1
Moonlight crept in
Shining light on my sins
My sheets could not shield me, the truth of a stranger’s skin
Memories they kept me
From my time in the sun
V2
Well I battered my mind
With tequila and lime
If the room would stop spinnin’ we’d be halfway to fine
Been up 3 days prayin'
For some time in the sun
CHO:
(Instrumental chorus/hook)
BR
Broken teeth & broken bones
Getting lost in all this chaos I have known
What do you do when your heroes and friends
Are all either sober or dead?
V3
Well I’m looking towards healing
All those things I’ve been feeling
I’ll gladly give back all the time I’ve been stealing
All alone in my head
For some time in the sun
Solo over first 2 verses
BR
Broken teeth & broken bones
Getting lost in all this chaos I have known
What do you do when your heroes and friends
Are all either sober or dead?
V4
Well I’m looking towards healing
All those things I’ve been feeling
I’ll gladly give back all the time I’ve been stealing
All alone in my head
For some time in the sun
x2 CHO OUT:
(Instrumental chorus/hook)
No place like home
V1
Overgrown tires in the yard
The grass doesn’t try
You stared out your window panes
At a cracked and shifting drive
V2
Daddy took your silver spoon
To cook up the savings jar
Momma wears her shades inside
His threats, they outbid her scars
PC1
It’s familiar, it’s blood
Don’t you turn away
It’s war unsung
So put on a smiling face
CH1
There’s no place like home
No there’s no place like home
Yeah there’s no place like home
No there’s no place like
V2
Threadbare goodwill around your neck
Seeks guidance from your pastor
Have faith, have hope
Is god’s final word on the matter
PC2
It’s rumors like yours
That would tear this town apart
That nonsense never happens here
So don’t even start
CH2
Cause there’s no place like home
No there’s no place like home
Yeah there’s no place like home
No there’s no place like
BR
These old clichés are dripping with blood
Faced with the option to give up or run
Give up or run, give up or run, give up or run
V3/Outro
An engine cries freedom in the night
Carrying the black sheep of a coal mine
Hotwired a GTO, you’re setting off to find
There’s no place like home
