Lyrics
It ain't quite the weekend
It's not yet the weekend.
But I'm on the deep end
I feel emotionally overwhelmed or distressed.
Thursday afternoon I just got off
On Thursday afternoon, I've finished work.
It's been a long year
This year has been long and filled with pain.
Of hurtin' without her here
I've experienced a lot of pain due to her absence.
She's been long gone. Hell it's all my fault
She has been gone for a while, and I blame myself for it.
But as long as the bar's open
Despite everything, if the bar is open,
And there's whiskey flowin'
And if alcohol is available,
and good country music from a jukebox or a band
And if there's good country music playing,
As long as my heart's broken, it feels good
My heart being broken oddly feels comforting.
knowin', as long as the bar's open,
I find solace in knowing that the bar is open.
I'll be alright man
I believe I'll be fine or manage okay.
It feels like home tonight
The atmosphere at the bar feels like home to me tonight.
I look to my left and right
I see people similar to me around.
There's fools like me on every stool
There are others like me who are also seeking solace at the bar.
It helps me keep the faith
Being at the bar helps me maintain hope or belief.
That everything will be ok
I'm optimistic that things will improve.
But some lonely nights I just need proof.
However, sometimes on lonely nights, I need strong evidence or assurance.
Hundred proof!
A reference to needing 100-proof alcohol for reassurance.
Yeah as long as my heart's broken
Despite my heartache, I'm aware of my direction or where I'm headed.
I know where I'm goin
I feel assured about where I'm going.
As long as the bar's open
As long as the bar remains open,
I'll be alright
I believe I'll manage or be okay.
