The Watering Hole
Small Town Revelry: The Watering Hole Chronicles
Lyrics
There ain't a whole lot of places
There are few options available for the local community to frequent.
For people round here to go
The residents of this area have limited places to visit.
But when the work week's done
After the workweek, leisure activities become a priority.
We're bound to have some fun
The community is inclined to enjoy themselves.
Down at the watering hole
Their preferred destination for enjoyment is the watering hole.
Population seven hundred
The town's population is limited to seven hundred.
Is all this little town can hold
The town can accommodate only this number of residents.
But Friday night I swear
On Fridays, everyone gathers at the watering hole.
They're all right here
The entire community congregates at this place.
Hanging at the watering hole
They spend time together at the watering hole.
It ain't a watering hole for horses
The watering hole isn't intended for animals to drink or swim.
Or a place where people go to swim
It's not a swimming spot or for animal hydration.
Though there's a sign that says no fishin'
Despite signs prohibiting fishing, unexpected things happen.
No telling what you might reel in
There might be surprising results despite the rules.
Yeah, a jukebox and a dance floor
Features like a jukebox and dance floor are present.
The wings are hot and the beer is cold
The food and drinks available are appealing.
The night is always young when you're having fun
Time seems prolonged when enjoyment is at its peak.
Down at the watering hole
People have a great time at the watering hole.
Hey that old bartender I bet he's seen it all
The bartender likely has witnessed numerous events at the place.
He's seen grown men cry
He has seen men displaying emotions openly.
And girls gone wild
Instances of unrestrained behavior from women have occurred.
And a few good bar room brawls
There have been physical altercations among patrons.
Saturday morning at the diner
Conversations continue the next day at a local diner.
There'll be a few good stories told
Stories about the previous night's events will be shared.
Like who's the fool
Discussions might involve humorous incidents.
Who fell off his stool
An individual who faced embarrassment might be talked about.
Down at the watering hole
Referencing someone who fell from a stool at the watering hole.
It ain't a watering hole for horses
Similar repetition emphasizing the place's purpose.
Or a place where people go to swim
The watering hole isn't intended for animals or swimming.
Though there's a sign that says no fishin'
Despite warnings against fishing, unforeseen outcomes may arise.
No telling what you might reel in
There's unpredictability despite rules prohibiting certain actions.
Yeah, a jukebox and a dance floor
The establishment offers entertainment and refreshments.
The wings are hot and the beer is cold
Food and beverages are appealing and enjoyable.
The night is always young when you're having fun
Time seems extended during pleasurable moments.
Down at the watering hole
People have a great time at the watering hole.
