Bar Room Jury
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every body knows the story
They've got the details, What the score is
But if you want the truth, girl,
You may need more than a day
You'll need to move a little closer
These walls have ears if you didn't know, girl.
There's certain things you need to know,
Before you go on your way.
It seems the world is a little busy
Selling lives on for a living.
And in the blinking of an eye,
The true hurt slips away.
And the writing's written on the wall,
For everyone to see.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves begind was never easy never kind.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves behind was never one to mind.
Moving on to the next installment,
Case the barroom jury dies of boredom.
The vultures are a-waiting
For the next meal of the day.
Another tale so sad and sorry
About another love that went so wrong.
And on the inside guts and glory,
That pushed it all along.
It's hard to find any words to say,
You just let the days go by come what may.
And all the things that we should have done,
That just happened anyway.
And the writing's written on the wall,
For everyone to see.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves begind was never easy never kind.
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone.
The legacy it leaves behind was never one to mind.
