Barstool Prophet Lyrics

At the end of the bar there's a man they all know Weathered face eyes that sparkle with a slow steady glow He's been here forever or so the town folks say Doling out wisdom in his own unique way

Barstool prophet with a whiskey in hand Talking of life and love and the lay of the land He'll spin you a story give advice with a grin SayingLife's what you make it son so go out and win

He talks of the wars and the loves that he's lost Each line on his face a story that came with a costTrust in the good he'll say with a sighAnd forgive all the rest before you say goodbye

Barstool prophet with a whiskey in hand Talking of life and love and the lay of the land He'll spin you a story give advice with a grin SayingLife's what you make it son so go out and winDon't rush through your days take time to enjoy The moments the memories the girl or the boy For life's a brief candle it flickers and wanes Live with a heart full of love that's what remains

So if you find yourself lost just head to the bar Where the lights are dimmed low and the world feels afar The prophet will greet you with a nod and a smile Sit you down gently and talk for a while

Barstool prophet with a whiskey in hand Talking of life and love and the lay of the land He'll spin you a story give advice with a grin SayingLife's what you make it son so go out and win

So here's to the prophet on his worn-out old stool In the corner of life where wisdom's the tool He's more than a fixture he's the soul of this place With a barstool for a throne and a smile on his face
