Barstool Blues Lyrics

Barstool Blues

If I could hold on to just one thought

 For long enough to know

 Why my mind is moving so fast

 And the conversation is slow.

 Burn off all the fog

 And let the sun through to the snow

 Let me see your face again

 Before I have to go

 

 I have seen you in the movies

 And those magazines at night

 I saw you on the barstool when

 You held that glass so tight.

 And I saw you in my nightmares

 But I'll see you in my dreams

 And I might live a thousand years

 Before I know what that means

 

 Once there was a friend of mine

 Who died a thousand deaths

 His life was filled with parasites

 And countless idle threats

 He trusted in a woman

 And on her he made his bets

 Once there was a friend of mine

 Who died a thousand deaths
