Beatin’ Around the Bar

Well, hello stranger
In them painted-on Wranglers
Aw, whatcha doing later
On the next slow song?
And what's that beside you
With a strip mall tattoo?
What's he really gonna do
If you do him wrong?

Well, fightin' and fuckin'
That's what keep 'em comin'
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else they here to come here for?
Ain't nobody leavin' 'til somebody's
Seein' a sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beatin' around the bar

Here come the big noise
From a Coca-Cola cowboy
Aw, he said his name was T-Roy
I said, "I'm drunk, how are you?"
And I don't think he liked that
He tried dancin' in her back
She looked like Rocky in a pearl snap
Reached back, slapped him half outta his boots

Well, fightin' and fuckin'
That's what keep 'em comin'
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else they here to come here for?
Ain't nobody leavin' 'til somebody's
Seein' a sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beatin' around the bar

Well, fightin' and fuckin'
That's what keep 'em comin'
Through them dance hall doors
Oh, it is what it is in a town like this
What else they here to come here for?
Ain't nobody leavin' 'til somebody's
Seein' a sky full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beatin' around the bar

Aw, drink it like you mean it
Quit beatin' around the bar
