I love this bar......

We got winners (Jack Nicklaus, Mother Teresa, Peyton Manning, Oprah, Tiger Woods, Jimmy Carter, Buck O’Neill, )
we got losers (child abusers, grumpy people, self-important people)
Chain smokers and boozers (ahm, I probably resemble that... John Daily, 3-4ths of the Corner Bar folks)
And we got yuppies (J-ahn-son Countians, KU fans – sorry Catom), we got bikers (My ex, her ZZ Top man)
We got thirsty hitchhikers (Dunno any.. if I did, they’d have a ride)
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars (I guess Gladys Kravats fits here.. she WAS an actress)

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (The Landing)

We got cowboys (Gene Autry – I know, I’m old), we got truckers (Dude I sat with TWICE at blackjack table)
Broken-hearted fools and suckers (Geez, ain’t we all been here?)
And we got hustlers (Paul Newman), we got fighters (Clint, Rocky, Ali, Maynard)
Early birds (me) and all-nighters (Gracie)
And the veterans talk about their battle scars (Bob Dole)

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (Pirate’s Inn)

[Chorus:]
I love this bar (Sammy’s)
It's my kind of place (equality)
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face (ah some good times)
It ain't too far (7th & ?), come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen short skirts (Kendra, her norm), we got high-techs (Howard, Doris)
Blue-collar boys (me) and rednecks (my car, or so Debbie W. says)
And we got lovers (where?) lots of lookers (all of our eyes wander)
And I've even seen dancing girls (doo-doo sisters) and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar (nomme)

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (Skunk Creek Inn - Colorado)
Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck) (I AM getting a truck – one that doesn’t have checkenginelight on, honest I am.
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend) (Gracie)
I like to take her out to dinner (Dish)
I like a movie now and then (with Tivo, conversation intermixed)

But I love this bar (One Block West)
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor (3 beer prerequisite)
Puts a big smile on my face (hopefully I do that a lot)
No cover charge (thank$), come as you are (yeah, ain’t one for high-falootin’ duds, scroll to blue collar)
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (The Corner)
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (Kelso’s)

We got divorcees (me me me me) and a big bouncer man (all big men bounce)
An old jukebox and a real bad band (Allied Saints, ever get a chance – go hear ‘em)
We got waitresses and we got barflies (ahm… OK, me again dammit)
A dumb-ass and a wise-guy (I’ma thinkin’ I might qualify for both there too)
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car (Dammit Jim, they’ve got surveillance cameras in the Ameristar parking lot?)

Reason number 672 why (People who go to a bar once, twice a year say “how sad an existence”.. people who go maybe once a week – simply have fun. Rationalization?)

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (Legends)
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty's over
Got to take it on home (Liberty)

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar (The Levee)
I just love it

I am so thrilled the Doo Doo Sisters (please capitolize!) were only ranked as dancing girls, and not hookers!!
