Mr. Bar Owner Lyrics

Last calls been served

In fact, the tables are cleared

The band has gone home for the night

And there on the stage

I feel it drawing me near

The guitar in the dim neon light

And it brings me a smile

When I look back in time

And see the faces watching me play

But that ol' Jose Cuervo

Sure was no friend of mine

Pulled me down and that's where I stayed

Hey, mister bar owner

Won't you let me strum on her

I promise I won't break any string

Mister bar owner

I once used to own her

And, ooh, I could make that girl sing

Hey, mister bar owner

Lord knows I'm not be sober

But please let me stand on your stage

'Cause the story of my life

Found the bottle one night

Please let me turn back to an earlier page

Let me strum her once more on your stage

Well I downed my last drop

And waited for his reply

Then I noticed the tear in his eye

And it turns out that he

Played guitar once like me

On the stage where yesterday lies

Hey, mister bar owner

Won't you let me strum on her

I promise not to break any string

Hey, mister bar owner

I once used to own her

And, ooh, I could make that girl sing

Hey, mister bar owner

I may not be sober

But please let me stand on your stage

'Cause the story of my life

Found the bottle one night

Please let me turn back to an earlier page

Let me strum her once more on your stage
