Just a few miles out ...Down an old familiar highway<br />Just a few miles out of town<br />To that run down, one room tavern<br />That used to be my stompin' ground<br /><br />Well I pulled in the driveway<br />You know it all still looked the same<br />And I couldn't wait to down a few<br />And hear that jukebox strain<br /><br />But as I walked in through the doorway<br />Well there stood some kind of matra'd<br />Well he looked me up and he looked me<br />Down and said can I help you please<br /><br />And I said what'd you do with those swingin' doors?<br />And where's the sawdust on the floor<br />Why's everybody wearin' suits and ties?<br />From where I stand I can't believe my eyes<br /><br />And who's idea was it to hang these ferns<br />This brand new bar don't have a single burn<br />I guess I'm somewhere that I don't belong<br />I need a jukebox with a country songBill Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002077996590696463noreply@blogger.com
