🎼 Lyrics: “Sitting at the Bar” by J Long
She's sitting at the bar
Alone and oh so pretty
Left her little town
For her shot in the city
I saw her sitting there
I knew that she was lonely
Wanted to show her that I care
Could be her one and only
She saw her shot, she could get paid
I'm at the bar, thought I'd get laid
One look at her, thought she was holy
Sitting at the bar thinking matrimony
Servin' didn't pay enough
She needed something more
Her life got a little tough
Turned her into a working girl
She saw her shot, she could get paid
I'm at the bar, thought I'd get laid
One look at her, thought she was holy
Sitting at the bar thinking matrimony
She saw her shot, she could get paid
I'm at the bar, thought I'd get laid
Didn't see that she was phony
Now I'm at the bar, paying alimony
Servin' didn't pay enough
She needed something more
Her life got a little tough
Turned her into a working girl
Sitting at the bar thinking matrimony
Sitting at the bar thinking matrimony
Sitting at the bar thinking matrimony
She saw her shot, she could get paid
I'm at the bar, thought I'd get laid
Didn't see that she was phony
Now I'm at the bar, paying alimony
