"Beatin' Around The Bar" lyrics

Well hello stranger
In them painted-on wranglers
Oh, what you doing later
On the next slow song?
And what's that beside you
With a strip mall tattoo?
What's he really gonna do
If you do him wrong?

Fighting and fucking
That's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh it is what it is
In a town like this
What else's there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving
Till somebody's seeing a sky
Full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beating around the bar

Here comes the big noise
From the Coca-Cola cowboy
Ah, he said his name is T-Roy
I said "I'm drunk, how are you?"
And I don't think he liked that
He tried dancing her back
She look like Rocky in a pearl snap, reached back
Slapped him half outta his boots

Fighting and fucking
That's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh it is what it is
In a town like this
What else's there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving
Till somebody's seeing a sky
Full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beating around the bar

Fighting and fucking
That's what keep 'em coming
Through them dance hall doors
Oh it is what it is
In a town like this
What else's there to come here for?
Ain't nobody leaving
Till somebody's seeing a sky
Full of lone damn stars
So drink it like you mean it
Quit beating around the bar

Ah drink it like you mean it
Quit beating around the bar
