The Maid Behind the Bar

Walk through the door
See your friends
No enemies where you are
It won't take long
For a smile and a pour
From the maid behind the bar

First a pint
Then a glass
Have a little shot or two
Pick your poison
Stay awhile
Until your cares are few

She knows your drink before you sit
Be you from near or far
You'll never have to make a choice
From the maid behind the bar

Her hair is soft
Her eyes are bright
Her pretty smile does not annoy
A slave to none
Priestess of fun
At the altar of our joy

She's the center of our dreams
The cause for every verse and song
You'll never want to leave her side
She's where your heart belongs

Get in line you foolish man
Away with pen and guitar
She is friends with all the boys
She's the maid behind the bar

I wonder if late at night
When the work is done
Does she find a love that's waiting
When there is no bar to run
Does she get the care she needs
While tending to her flock
Or does she find she's all alone
While trying to beat the clock

So when you ask her for a drink
And she pulls it from the tap
She cures your pain and stops the rain
So be sure to tip your cap
Don't forget the role she plays
In your little worthless life
She will always care for you
And rid you of your strife

There is one sin you can commit
And that's insult the star
So don't you ever raise your voice
To the maid behind the bar
