Charlie Robison Barlight Lyrics

Barlight Lyrics

Now when I was young my 
momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed
though
they sounded mighty fine they made no sense to me
now that i am all grown up
it seems my nights have changed such
so i went out and made me up a nursery
rhyme for me

Chorus
It goes barlight bar bright
first bar that i
see tonight
wish i may wish i might 
find someone to hold me tight
hey
diddle diddle a man with a fiddle and the
girls sings along with the
tune
just a one more dance til you turn off the lights and 
you can shut
down this saloon

Well I never understood 
how a big ole gal could
raise no kids in a shoe 
and any old jack that goes jumping a candle

needs to find something better to do
rub a dub dub 3 men in a tub sure
sounds kinda funny to me
so I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme 
and
it's the only one I'll sing

Repeat Chorus

Well i never understood

how a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe 
and any old jack that
goes jumping a 
candle needs to find something better to do
rub a dub dub
3 men in a tub sure sounds kinda funny to me
so I made up a honky tonk
nursery rhyme 
and it's the only one I'll sing
