Hey Bartender

Hey bartender pour me another one

'cause I don't think that I've had enough

make it a bourbon make it a double one

you can see that I'm still standing up

whiskey and women well they fool me every time

into thinking I'm the hero I have pictured

in my mind

Chorus:

so tell me a secret to get me through the night

or let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie

where am I this evening? no I don't mean what bar

I mean what city? and in what state am I?

honey, are you leaving? and do you have a car?

and could you take me along for the ride?

a woman like you well, you could enter in my life

and let me be the lover I have pictured in my mind

Chorus

here's a quarter why don't I play us a song

B 33 I believe it's George Jones

I believe it's a slow one in 3/4 time

so let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie

hey bartender did she say where she was going?

well I must have dozed off for awhile

are these my cigarettes? and how much do I owe?

I guess I'll see you again tomorrow night

do you think she'd mind it if I called her

up sometime?

I might be the reason she's been searching

her whole life
