Song Description

Song about a Fallen Star musician who finds later in career he is back to playing bars again.

Lyrics

Just pulled up in my pick-up truck,
got my gear in the back but I hate settin' up.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again
Got munchies and maps and some old beer cans,
Whoops last night I forgot my guitar stands.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again
Sound checks are a thing of the past,
Just plug 'er on in fly by the seat of your pants.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again
Got your pony-tailed feller by the mixing board,
just rattlin' on 'bout some miracle cords.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again

Another Fallen Star is about to hit the stage.
It seems like yesterday, my songs were all the rage.
Saw my name in neon lights, a different lady every night.
And the crowd was singin' every word.

Will I pay for my drinks or do I get half price,
might get a couple free if the owners really nice.
Oh lord I'm drinkin' in bars again
Slam down a burger yea it's not gourmet,
but it will soak up the booze I'm gonna drink today.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again


Oh Lord I'm playing bars again.
This old guitar I hold has been my life long friend.
The best thing I know how to do, is to play a song for you.
And sing it like, I'm meaning every word.

Lights go down now it's time to play,
I count 35 people hope there's more on the way.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again.

Another Fallen Star with dreams of yesterday.
Come the morning I'll be on the road,
heading out to that next stage.
Chasin' dreams for another day,
listen close you might hear me say.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Three more sets before I'm gettin' paid,
I wore my snake skin boots in hopes of gettin' laid.
Hopin' some agent gonna stop on by,
give me a big contract that he wants me to sign.
Oh lord I'm playing bars again
Oh lord I'm drinkin' in bars again,
Oh lord Like just the fallen star I am.
