Bars and Churches

Where I grew up Everyone spent their Saturday's in bars And Sundays in church I spent weekend working the latter And thoroughly avoiding the former I weaved through them Never feeling part of anyone Merely taking what I needed from them Yearning to earn enough To get away Get better Get on There are days I miss the invisibility of being part of something You were never part of I never found my place I built my own And no one ever wanted to come in I work my bar alone And worship only myself
