I miss those old-fashioned barber shops The ones where everyone was welcome You could hear stories about people who made it to the top Never just a place to get your haircut, but a place to have fun, filled with conversation and good memories I spent most of my childhood in one. And through everything in my life that went terribly wrong The barber shop was a place that made me feel strong Surrounded by people who loved and who cared A place where every ounce of happiness was shared Places like these I love the most But I haven't seen a shop in a while, They sort of dissappeared, Like ghosts

The Barber Shop
I miss those old-fashioned barber shops The ones where everyone was welcome You could hear stories about people who made it to the top Never just a place to get your haircut, but a place to have fun, filled with conversation and good memories I spent most of my childhood in one. And through everything in my life that went terribly wrong The barber shop was a place that made me feel strong Surrounded by people who loved and who cared A place where every ounce of happiness was shared Places like these I love the most But I haven't seen a shop in a while, They sort of dissappeared, Like ghosts
