THIS OLD BAR'S A LOT LIKE ME*(Marc Alan Barnette, Steve Harris, Julie Springer, MattC Casey, DD Bain) *Lyrics have been slightly updated since the guitar vocals was done. Thes are the most current ones They were tearing Harry’s Tavern down Selling every piece of that smokey lounge I went there with Grandpa that Saturday Didn't know why he was intrigued He hadn't touched a drop since 83 Deacon in the church, a carpenter by trade When they offered up that big ol' bar could not believe he even bid Auctioneer said "sold" to the old man back there, with the kid Chorus: HE SAID, THIS OLD BAR’S A LOT LIKE ME SCRATCHED AND SCARRED, BURNED AND BEAT EVERY MARK HAS A TALE TO TELL TOO MANY OF THOSE I KNOW TOO WELL BEEN THROUGH HELL AND STILL AROUND ENOUGH BOOZE SPILT A MAN COULD DROWN WITH UNTOLD SECRETS IN IT'S HISTORY THIS OLD BAR'S A LOT LIKE ME In his garage every Thursday night Me and Gramps worked side by side Belt sanders, dust, a lot of elbow grease Turns out he’d been at Harry’s fore my Dad was born Knew every fight and every storm Every name carved into those reliefs And there was one deep gash in the side on the right Said that’s where Big Ed Moore nearly took my life Chorus: Bridge: He was so proud sitting in that pew at the Third Street Baptist Church Watching the preacher bringing fire and brimstone standing behind our work From bar to alter three services Sunday mornings Wednesday and Sunday nights Funny how such a thing is still saving lives Chorus
