Gary Jules - Barstool - Sözleri

Old man on a barstool watching TV


Got up and came over to sit closer to me


He said "You look familiar to someone I knew


But when were your age we were older than you


Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen


And to us there was nothing but girls and machines


Jimmy got married and I went to war


I still don't know what we were doing it for


But if you'll buy me a drink--turkey on ice


Then I could give you some advice





"You just stay in the bar


For as long as you can


As long as you're drinking


Then you've got the world in your hand





"There's no shame in hanging your world by a string


And you know there's no harm in not thinking a thing


But trying to find a place for yourself in this world


Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl


If you'll trade me a drink for a story or two


Then you'll know what you need to do





"You just stay in the bar


For as long as you can


You know love is for sissies


It's whiskey that makes you a man"





Now the old man got up and stumbled out in the street


He'd been drinking all day and left his bar tab with me


I didn't have the money to cover his bill


But I found me a man who looked like me, younger still


And said, "Buy me a drink and I'll tell you a tale


About the old man who taught me so well





You just stay in the bar


For as long as you can


Hell I know you're a friend


I can tell by the shakes in your hand


You just stay in the bar


For as long as you dare


As long as you're tipping


Then you've got a good friend somewhere
