JOHN CASEY’S BAR WARS SONG

not so long ago
there was a bartender
bald n irish
bangin’ his drums
on the bar n startin’…
a war

if yr gonna start a war
should be a bar war
yr guitar is yr gun
yr song is a shot

so here we are
long time booze hounds
fighting this war
in yr honor

if yr gonna start a war
should be a bar war
it ain’t the win
it’s the thunder
of love

laughing all the way
to an empty bank
with you to thank
in yr honor

not so long ago
there was a bartender
bald n irish
bangin’ drums
on the bar n he started…
a war

if yr gonna start a war
should be a bar war
put a band together
n drink up to John

we work at the bar
we go to church at the bar
we sing at the bar
in your honor

not so long ago
there was a bartender
bald n irish
he could look you in the eye
n know exactly what yr dreamin’

put a band together
n drink up to John
