This Bar Inherits The Meek Lyrics

His rebound romance

Is a sad affair with alcohol

Now he's bar-stool bottle-necking

Most every night

He says he wouldn't run to her

Even if she called

But damned if he don't keep checking

Left and right

He says put on some music

Put on some music

Let's have a hell of a time

Put on some music

Hey David lend me a dime

Put on some music

Put on some music

Then he gets up and walks past the jukebox

And heads for the phone one more time

Teary trauma, dreary drama

Barroom backdrop

He's shot glassy-eyed

Trying to hang on

With face down toward a bottle

Staring down the barrel of a gun

He's been dying slowly

Ever since she's been gone

He says put on some music

Put on some music

Let's have a hell of a time

Put on some music

Hey David lend me a dime

Put on some music

Put on some music

Then he gets up and walks right past the jukebox

And heads for the phone one more time

One more of love's

Wounded weary veterans

Flanked by two dead soldiers

Just finished off

In this emergency ward

For the emotionally shattered

To whom all that ever mattered

Has gone off

He says put on some music

Put on some music

Let's have a hell of a time

Put on some music

Hey David lend me a dime

Put on some music

Put on some music

Then he gets up and walks right past the jukebox

And heads for the phone one more time

So lady, wherever you are

I know your story

I've heard this man's sad tale

Each night this week

I don't know who inherits the earth

Or grabs the glory

But I do know that

This bar inherits the meek

Put on some music

Put on some music

Let's have a hell of a time

Put on some music

Hey David lend me a dime

Put on some music

Put on some music

Then he gets up and walks right past the jukebox

And heads for the phone one more time

Put on some music

Put on some music

Let's have a hell of a time

Put on some music

Hey David lend me a dime

Put on some music

Put on some music

Then he gets up and walks right past the jukebox

And heads for the phone one more time
