Pour me another shot of courage,
for tonight I face my past.
On second thought just leave the bottle.
I promise I'll try to make this one last.
Yes once again her memories dancing,
filling every corner of my mind.
Sometimes a faithful friend behind the bar to talk to,
and another bottle is the only comfort I can find.
So please keep the liquor flowing
as I take a trip through all the years.
You know the alcohol is the only thing
keeping me from filling this bar up with tears.
But then we all have troubles
as I look around this room
there are lots of pretty bottles
but without one single smile it looks more like a tomb.
I'm pineing over a women,
while that guy was caught cheating on his wife.
She just lost her mom to cancer,
and over there their friend just took his life.
We all lost money in the stock market,
but their retirement money dropped 50% just this week.
And she just left her husband who slept with her best friend
what a real scum bag, a lyer, and a cheat.
But together we all seem to find comfort
with another round of the same.
As we talk to our favorite bar keep
our secrets are safe because he only knows our first name.
He keeps the drinks a coming serving up therapy in every glass.
You know I have poured out my soul to him for years.
He never judges and always listens,
to all of our troubles, woes, and fears.
So lets hear it for all the bar tenders
lets give them all a big hand.
because tonight and everynight they are holding
a different kind of AA meeting all throughout this land.
