Guy Walks Into a Bar

Guy walks into a bar

he's lonely and he wants to drink

he's been drinking too much

he's sad

but

it's fine

he meets a girl

she takes him home

great ***

she forgets his name

and he forgets her

he get's drunk

gives her a call

they have fun...

and fall in love

she sang him a song

drunk, in the garage, during a smoke

and she was etched into his heart

she sang left me in a hole

after a year of fun, love, and struggle

she left him in a hole

he's far from blameless

but he loved her

and

he tried

she just stopped

he doesn't blame her

he's a drunk

he was embarrassing

but she said she wouldn't quit

and she did

then quickly moved on

he'd gotten better

now he's worse

haunted

 

if he wasn't a drunk,

he'd never met her.

if he wasn't a drunk,

he'd have married her.

if he wasn't a drunk,

she wouldn't have liked him.

if he wasn't a drunk,

she'd have stayed.

 

guy walks into a bar, and never leaves.
