Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
I thought of going back to school for maximum promotion
I fell into a spell and then I took off like a man without an answer
Now I wanna be back home but I'm married to a dancer
You know I went to see the gypsy but nobody can fix me
I came here for the water but I was misinformed
Bar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, anywhere in any town
I introduced myself and told a couple stupid jokes to break the tension
They say the best of comedians often battle with depression
It's gonna take some time but pretty soon you know I'm gonna do my best work
Then I'm gonna walk away and tell you that it don't hurt
Bar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, if only you could hear me now
If you want it you can get it
If you want it for a holiday you can get away
There's a man in the office and he's looking away
I had a dream
Bar life, man whatever gets you through
Thinking about bar life, singing those cowboy tunes
Bar life, so many of us going down
Thinking about bar life, anywhere in any town
Once upon a time I had some money and I went across the ocean
