Sort of a drinking song - lyric... needs a tune

Post by funsongs » Thu May 07, 2015 2:51 pm

The Bar’s Too High!
V1)
“The bar’s too high!”… a songwriter said
Well that explains this big ol’ lump on my head
I thought it mighta been from all the slammed doors
Not from drinkin’ all the barkeep pours
V2)
You see… I’ve been tryin’ to pitch some tunes
To the big boys in Nashville… not just any old goons
But unless you’ve lived the cowboy life… you know…
Left all alone by your dog and a wife… well…
Pre-Ch)
You’ve not much of a chance to give a song to pitch
(Man… my head hurts like a son of a b****!)
Well that explains this swellin’ … like I said
I reckon I should try another genre instead
Chorus)
“The bar’s too high!” I said with a sigh
While reachin’ for my beer I started to cry
The tears began to roll down my face
And… a man don’t cry in a cowboy - kind - of - place!
V3)
With tears and beers flowing… everything wet on the bottom
Suddenly slipped ‘n hit my ol’ noggin
“The bar’s too high!” I shouted… “and I’m such a fool!”
Then someone said, “Maybe all you need is a higher stool!”
Bridge)
Yeah… that’s it… there’s nothin’ wrong with my song
It’s just that I’ve been sittin’ on a low seat too long...
