THIS DAMN BAR
Escaping Heartbreak: Barstool Chronicles
Lyrics
She's a runner in a little town
Describing a woman who frequently moves around in a small town.
Leavin' Broadway in the dust
Leaving the busy Broadway area, indicating a desire for a simpler life.
And she's got her own little crowd
She has her own group of people or friends.
Right across the room from us
Highlighting the proximity of her presence in the same room.
She's got that glare in her eye
Referring to a determined or challenging look in her eyes.
But I gotta leave her here tonight
Expressing the need to part ways with her tonight.
Cuz that Cash on the jukebox is tellin' me somethin' ain't right
The presence of Johnny Cash's music suggesting a sense of unease or warning.
So I'm on to the next bar
Moving on to the next bar, possibly to escape or find something new.
Don't care about a cover charge
Indifferent to the cost of entry, emphasizing the desire for change.
As long as there's someone new
Seeking novelty in the company of someone new at the bar.
Sittin' on the barstool
Describing a person sitting on a barstool.
Knowin' I'm just a fool
Acknowledging one's foolishness in the pursuit of something new.
And she sure as hell ain't you
Emphasizing that the new person is distinct from the previous one.
So bartender pour another to whatever we're drinkin' to
Asking the bartender to pour another drink for a toast.
In this damn bar
Reflecting on the experiences and emotions in the current bar.
I told my buddies meet in five
Scheduling a meeting with friends in five minutes.
Throw on some boots and pull on up
Preparing for a night of moving on and leaving the past behind.
To a movin' on kind of night
Stating the intention to move forward and forget about the previous person.
Time to leave her ass in the dust
Expressing determination to leave the past behind and move on.
We got Wallen on the jukebox tellin' us to "line em up"
Mentioning a song by Morgan Wallen, possibly influencing the decision to move on.
(Line 'em up, line 'em up, line 'em up, line 'em up)
Repeating the idea of moving on and leaving the past behind.
So we're on to the next bar
Continuing the journey to the next bar, regardless of the entry fee.
Don't care about a cover charge
Reiterating the indifference to the cost of entering the next bar.
As long as there's someone new
Seeking companionship with someone new on a barstool.
Sittin' on the barstool
Describing the presence of a person on a barstool.
Knowin' I'm just a fool
Acknowledging one's foolishness in pursuing someone new.
And she sure as hell ain't you
Emphasizing the distinction from the previous person.
So bartender pour another to whatever we're drinkin' to
Asking the bartender for another drink to toast to something new.
In this damn bar
Reflecting on experiences and emotions in the current bar.
Oh there's a line out that door
Describing a long line outside the current bar.
And I cant wait anymore
Expressing impatience with waiting for someone.
Cuz she's walkin' our way
Noting the approach of the person of interest.
I got one last thing to say
Declaring a final message or statement before moving on.
Oh I'm on to the next bar
Continuing the journey to the next bar despite the approaching person.
She's sittin' on that barstool

Lord knows that I've got a lot more drinkin' to do

In this damn bar
