Loco Bar And Grill
Love's Bittersweet Melody: Encounters at the Local Bar
Lyrics
Well I met her at the local bar and grill
Introduction to where the narrator met the woman, at a local bar and grill.
She was crying so I moved in for the kill
The woman was upset, and the narrator approached her with romantic intentions ("moved in for the kill").
I said hey now can it really be that bad
The narrator questions the severity of her situation, offering support.
She said I just lost the best man any woman ever had
The woman reveals she just lost a significant man in her life.
I said well then can I buy a drink for you
The narrator offers to buy a drink and provides their number for further support.
Here's my number should you need someone to talk to
Leaving a means of contact for the woman in distress.
Then we danced till she had to go home
The two engage in dancing but part ways later.
She was crying when I met her now I'm crying cause she's gone
The woman, initially upset, leaves, and now the narrator is the one feeling sorrow.
I've heard it said there's such a thing as love at first sight
Reference to the concept of love at first sight.
If anyone has, well I fell in love that night
The narrator claims to have experienced love at first sight that night.
Tried to catch her on the rebound, knew that it was wrong
Admits to trying to pursue the woman even though it was morally questionable.
She was crying when I met her, now I'm crying cause she's gone
Despite the narrator's attempts, the woman is now gone, and they are left in sorrow.
Well I sat there in that bar for quite some time
The narrator reflects on spending a significant amount of time in the bar.
Why does my life always seem to be just a country song?
Expresses a sense of life resembling a country song, with struggles and setbacks.
Day late, dollar short, and always wrong
Highlights a pattern of being late, financially strained, and consistently making wrong decisions.
She was crying when I met her, now I'm crying cause she's gone
Reiteration of the woman's initial state and the narrator's current emotional state.
I've heard it said there's such a thing as love at first sight
Repeats the notion of love at first sight.
If anyone has, well I fell in love that night
Reaffirms the narrator's claim of falling in love on that particular night.
Tried to catch her on the rebound, knew that it was wrong
Acknowledges the inappropriate attempt to pursue the woman on the rebound.
She was crying when I met her, now I'm crying cause she's gone
Despite the attempt, the woman is now gone, and the narrator is left in sadness.
Well I met her at the local bar and grill
A repetition of the introduction, bringing the narrative full circle.
