Lyrics
Hey Bartender
It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
We’re a twisted and torn bunch of vagabonds
Soakin’ our bones in this rusty graveyard
Just trying to kill our demons & heal our scars
Smilin’ a grin like a Cheshire cat
Howlin’ at the moon ‘n runnin’ with the pack
Sooner or later our train gon’ run off track
And It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
Well it’s so damn hard to catch our breath
When our mouths are dry from cigarette ash
And the words we try to speak rise and fall flat
So lets get together ‘n brew a wicked spell
Then we could run for cover to the edge of hell
It’s so damn close we could hear all our friends yell
And it’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
Shame, Shame, ain’t it a pity!
