the beer the band and the barstool

Luke Combs

He walks in
Orders up a round, how you been?
My old friend
The band kicks off
The same old dance, the same old worn-out songs
But he sings along

He s gonna stay here till they make him leave
Cause he s got all the friends
a guy like him could ever need

One ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One ll help by drownin out the how d you wind up here
One ll hold him up when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
The beer, the band and the barstool

Corner booth
A blonde with lonely eyes, a shade of blue
Hey, how are you?
Just by chance
Are you here alone? How bout a dance?
And she took his hand

He hopes she d stay, but always knew she d leave
But he s got all the friends a guy like him could ever need

One ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One ll help by drownin out the how d you wind up here
One ll hold him up when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
The beer, the band and the barstool

Now he last call, lights a cigarette and orders up one more
Pays his tab, knows he ll be back
cause he s been here before

One ll hang around and tell him what he wants to hear
One ll help by drownin out the how d you wind up here
One ll hold him up when love has let him down
They do the best they can for a broken-hearted fool
They go hand in hand with losing you
The beer, the band and the barstool

And the barstool
