The Bar Is A Beautiful Place
[Verse 1]
I hang my head down on Hollywood
'Cause either way you look down it's just stars
And I'm making my way down the Cherokee
To get drunk in a bar

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know my friends, they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
Despite anything that I said before
The bar is a beautiful place

[Chorus]
Sha na na na na, sha la la la, sh la la la
Sha na na na na, sha na na na, sh la la la

[Bridge 1]
I got a cold in my heart that the doctor can't feel
He said "Go get you a beer"
But they don't let the sunshine come in here
Sha la. sha la la la

[Verse 2]
Where the hookers and thieves and the junkies play
It's a circus 'round here for sure
And I worry about how I'm fitting in
If I only had her
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know my friends they worry about me
I see it written on their face
But despite anything I might have said before
The bar is a beautiful place

[Chorus]
Sha na na na na, sha na na na, sh la la la
Sha na na na na, sha na na na, na na na, sh la la la

[Bridge 2]
Ain't it strange, I see your face in the window of a store
Holding me back from throwing my bottles out at the cars
Sha la. sha la la la

[Verse 3]
So hey there, Miss Samuels
Hey Laura, I'm thinking of you
Would you take an old drunk as-is
If he was sweet to you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And tomorrow, you'll probably give up on me
I won't blame you, hell I'll celebrate
'Cause despite anything you may have ever said to me
The bar is a beautiful place
[Chorus]
Sha na na na na, sha na na na, sh la la
Sha na na na na, sha na na na, sh la la
