Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That four-way stop in this one-horse town
Is easy to miss if you don't slow down
There's a shack on the corner where a honky tonk lived
The door was open, so I walked in
[Verse 2]
Behind a dusty case of Schlitz's came an old creepy voice
With chills up my arm, he said, "Can I help you, boy?
I'm surprised you came in, most think that we're closed
But we open for drifters and a couple stray ghosts"
[Verse 3]
You see, this town needs some girls 'cause girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
[Verse 4]
And as he flipped on the lights the neons came on
That jukebox was burnin' an old Haggard song
And all of a sudden, it hit me like a truck
I could see every reason he wouldn't board it up
Had that cool, classy edge you don't see anymore
There should be a long line of folks at the door
They should all be here laughing and kickin' up salt
But the reason it's empty ain't nobody's fault
[Verse 5]
'Cause this town needs some girls 'cause girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
[Verse 6]
This town needs some girls 'cause girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
[Verse 7]
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
