Thrown Out of the Bar
Reckless Nights and Roadside Bars: Hank Williams III's Anthem
Lyrics
I've been beat up bad,
I've experienced severe physical harm
I've been kicked around
I've been mistreated or abused
I've been thrown out of every damn bar in this old town
I've been kicked out of every bar in town
In this old town
Reiteration of being thrown out in this town
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun
People disapprove of our way of having fun
Cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run
Constantly on the move and engaged in risky behavior
And I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a damn good time
Actively seeking a good time, possibly through reckless actions
I've done so much trip they can't look me in the eye
Been through a lot, causing others discomfort
Cause I'm always tryin' to find that ultimate high
Persistent quest for an intense, possibly drug-induced, experience
And I was hangin' out with my hero, his name is, uh, David Allan Coe
The narrator spent time with a person named David Allan Coe
Well I was messed up bad, and he was messed up right
The narrator and David Allan Coe were both intoxicated
And me and him, well we almost got in a fight
Narrator and Coe almost got into a physical altercation
But we ended up at this bar on the side of that road
Ended up at a bar on the side of the road
I've been beat up bad,
Repetition of experiencing severe physical harm
I've been kicked around
Repetition of being mistreated or abused
I've been thrown out of every damn bar in this old town
Repetition of being thrown out of every bar in town
In this old town
Reiteration of being thrown out in this town
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun
Repetition of people disapproving of their way of having fun
Cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run
Repetition of constantly being on the move and engaging in risky behavior
And I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a damn good time
Repetition of actively seeking a good time, possibly through reckless actions
I've done so much trip they can't look me in the eye
Repetition of having been through a lot, causing others discomfort
Cause I'm always tryin' to find that ultimate high
Repetition of persistent quest for an intense experience
And I had me a hero, and his name was uh, David Allan Coe
Repetition of spending time with a person named David Allan Coe
Well I was runnin' real hard and he was runnin' real fast
Narrator and Coe were both running hard and fast
But we got cut up, up there at the pass
They faced difficulties or obstacles, possibly symbolized by "the pass"
And we ended up at this bar on the side of that road
Ended up at a bar on the side of the road
We've been beat up bad,
Repetition of experiencing severe physical harm
We've been kicked around
Repetition of being mistreated or abused
We've been thrown out of every damn bar in this old town
Repetition of being thrown out of every bar in town
In this old town
Reiteration of being thrown out in this town
I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun
Repetition of people disapproving of their way of having fun
Cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run
Repetition of constantly being on the move and engaging in risky behavior
And I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a damn good time
Repetition of actively seeking a good time, possibly through reckless actions
