Lyrics
He walks in, orders up a round
How you been, my old friend?
The band kicks off, the same ole dance
The same ole worn out songs but he sings along
He's gonna stay here 'til they make him leave
'Cause he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres
One will hold him up, when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
The Beer, the Band and the Barstool
Corner booth, a blonde with lonely eyes
A shade of blue, "Hey, how are you?"
Just by chance, are you here alone? How about a dance?
And she took his hand
He hoped she'd stay, but always knew she'd leave
But he's got all the friends a guy like him could ever need
One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres
One will hold him up, when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
The Beer, the Band and the Barstool
Now he last call, lights a cigarette and orders up one more
Pays his tab, knows he'll be back, 'cause he's been here before
One will hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One will help by drownin' out the how'd you wind up heres
One will hold him up, when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
They go hand-in-hand with losin' you
The Beer, the Band and the Barstool
And the Barstool
