Nowhere Bar
Journey through a Carolina Sunset: Nowhere Bar Revelations
Lyrics
Turned off the highway, couldn’t tell if it was open
Travelling off the main road, uncertain if the destination is open
Just a red dirt parking lot and a neon sign that’s broken
Describing a deserted area with red dirt and a broken neon sign
One quick beer and I’m outta here I got to be on my way
Having a quick drink and needing to leave to continue the journey
Ten more miles to Raleigh when I saw your face
Remaining distance to Raleigh; encountering someone special
I didn’t have to go too far to find ya
Expressing ease in finding the person without much effort
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
Discovering the person in the back of a remote bar in Carolina
One look, you took my breath
Being captivated by the person's appearance
But you’re still stuck inside of my head
The person remains on the singer's mind
Wherever I go I’m not too far
Feeling close to the memory of the bar no matter the location
From the back of a nowhere bar
Emphasizing the impact of the nowhere bar in the singer's life
Somethin’ ‘bout the sunset, setting down in late September
Reflecting on a memorable sunset in late September
The air was hot, the beer was cold, I still remember
Recalling the atmosphere, temperature, and memories of that evening
How we shared some rounds as the night came down, and I swear girl I believed
Sharing drinks and expressing belief in a special connection
That the only people in this world were you and me
Believing that, in that moment, only the two of them existed
I didn’t have to go too far to find ya
Reiterating the ease of finding the person in the nowhere bar
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
Revisiting the image of finding the person in a Carolina bar
One look, you took my breath
Reaffirming the impact of the person's presence on the singer
But you’re still stuck inside of my head
The person continues to occupy the singer's thoughts
Wherever I go I’m not too far
Feeling connected to the memory of the nowhere bar regardless of location
From the back of a nowhere bar
Stressing the enduring significance of the nowhere bar
At closing time you slipped away, and all I had was just a name
Describing the departure of the person at closing time
And a couple empty bottles, but I hope one day that
Having only a name and empty bottles as reminders
I won’t have to go too far to find ya
Expressing hope of finding the person without much effort in the future
Sitting there in the back of a nowhere bar in Carolina
Recapturing the image of the person in the Carolina bar
One look, you took my breath
Reiterating the impact of the person's presence on the singer
But you’re still stuck inside of my head
The person remains a lingering presence in the singer's thoughts
Wherever I go I’m not too far
Feeling connected to the memory of the nowhere bar wherever the singer goes
From the back of a nowhere bar
Emphasizing the lasting significance of the nowhere bar
From the back of a nowhere bar
Repeating the importance of the nowhere bar in the singer's life
Wherever I go I’m not too far
Expressing a sense of closeness to the nowhere bar regardless of location
