Outside Billy Bob's (Drunk Girl)

There's always one drunk girl at the bar
Always that one girl takes it all too far
She sits outside beneath a lonely light
She holds her head cause she don't feel alright

Her loyal best friend by her side
A few more hours she'll still be on this ride
Always a soft spot in my heart
For that one drunk girl at the bar

She'd tried till half an hour ago
Talking to guys she didn't like or know
Turning in circles to fit in
Until the faces all began to spin

Too many whiskey lemonades
Now she's outside and riding out the waves
I know how life can hit you hard
When you're that drunk girl at the bar

Because that drunk girl once was me
At least a time or two or maybe three
Wanting so badly to belong
She couldn't see yet how the whole scene fit her wrong

Now she stands up, she lifts her head
Next time around won't be so easily led
I see the light of wisdom spark
Inside that drunk girl at the bar

And as the crowd starts shuffling home
She starts to think about a life that's more her own
She and her friend, they talk a while
They share a laugh and then she finally smiles

I see a woman sure and smart
Inside that drunk girl at the bar
Maybe the gold dust of a star
Inside that girl at the bar
