George's Bar
My brother and I used to go down to Georges Bar
We'd drink Big O's until they closed down the place
We'd talk about our lifelong ambition
I still recall the smile upon his face
He took off for the bright lights down in Austin
Said Pat don't you know there ain't no money here
He made a million bucks selling computers
I still go to George's and drink my beer
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade
She didn't even know she caught my eye
We dated for a little while back in high school
I thought that one day she'd be my wife
The road took a turn somewhere around 18
She took off to find her own way
Fell in for some Nashville high roller
I know he's gonna break her heart one day
She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday
We'd watch thos football games on TV
Sit around and sometimes he'd tell me stories
About how simple life used to be
My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday
I thought to myself he was one a helluva man
And I know when the darkness surrounds me
He reaches out and he takes my hand
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
He's gone, he mabye gone, I swear to God that he's still here
We'd drink Big O's until they closed down the place
We'd talk about our lifelong ambition
I still recall the smile upon his face
He took off for the bright lights down in Austin
Said Pat don't you know there ain't no money here
He made a million bucks selling computers
I still go to George's and drink my beer
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade
She didn't even know she caught my eye
We dated for a little while back in high school
I thought that one day she'd be my wife
The road took a turn somewhere around 18
She took off to find her own way
Fell in for some Nashville high roller
I know he's gonna break her heart one day
She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday
We'd watch thos football games on TV
Sit around and sometimes he'd tell me stories
About how simple life used to be
My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday
I thought to myself he was one a helluva man
And I know when the darkness surrounds me
He reaches out and he takes my hand
He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
He's gone, he mabye gone, I swear to God that he's still here
