Prayin' in a Bar
Soulful Confessions Under Neon Lights
Lyrics
That old bar stool became my alter
Symbolizing the bar stool as a place of personal reflection and connection.
Whiskey was my Holy Water
Describing whiskey as a source of solace and comfort.
I was baptized at night under neon lights in cigarette smoke
Recalling a metaphorical baptism at night in the atmosphere of the bar.
That open sign became my Bible
Viewing the open sign as a guiding principle, similar to a religious text.
The cover band was my revival
Considering the cover band as a form of spiritual revival.
My Sunday mornings were spent hungover
Highlighting the contrast between traditional Sunday mornings and a hungover state.
Goin' against myself and what I felt in my heart
Struggling with personal conflicts and going against inner feelings.
Every night when I'm Prayin' in a Bar
Expressing a ritual of prayer that occurs every night within the bar setting.
And maybe it's messed up
Acknowledging the unconventional nature of finding solace and stress relief in a bar.
That this is where I come to kill some stress
Recognizing the bar as a place to alleviate stress and seek emotional relief.
I was thinkin' that maybe while I was here I'd confess
Contemplating the idea of confessing personal thoughts and struggles while in the bar.
Hey bartender, I'm just talkin' to God out loud
Addressing the bartender as a listener and vocalizing thoughts to a higher power.
I'll pour my whole heart out while you pour me another round
Pouring out one's emotions to both the bartender and oneself through drinking.
Cause that old bar stool became my alter
Reiterating the bar stool as a symbolic place of personal connection and reflection.
Whiskey was my Holy Water
Reinforcing the idea that whiskey serves as a source of spiritual comfort.
I was baptized at night under neon lights in cigarette smoke
Revisiting the metaphorical baptism under the influence of the bar's atmosphere.
That open sign became my Bible
Reaffirming the open sign as a guiding principle and source of direction.
The cover band was my revival
Re-emphasizing the cover band as a form of revival and inspiration.
My Sunday mornings were spent hungover
Reiterating the contrast between conventional Sunday mornings and hungover states.
Goin' against myself and what I felt in my heart
Continuing to express internal conflict and going against personal feelings.
Every night when I'm Prayin' in a Bar
Highlighting the consistency of nightly prayers within the bar environment.
And I stay every night until closing time
Describing a dedication to staying in the bar until closing time.
When they shut down all the lights
Detailing the moment when the bar's lights are turned off.
And I pray and I drink, all alone I'll wait
Expressing a combination of prayer and solitary drinking while waiting until morning.
All the way til' the morning light
Committing to the routine of praying and drinking until the morning light.
Cause that old bar stool became my alter
Reiterating the symbolic significance of the bar stool as a place of personal connection.
Whiskey was my Holy Water
Reaffirming the role of whiskey as a spiritual source of comfort.
I was baptized at night under neon lights in cigarette smoke
Revisiting the metaphorical baptism under the influence of the bar's atmosphere.
