Lyrics

Another night, same old scene,

Glass hits wood, eyes turn mean.

Lies and confessions, love gone cold,

I pour the whiskey, watch it unfold.

The midnight crowd, with shadows cast,

Each faces a story, each drink a past.

In the mellow light, secrets stack high,

The silent keeper, I’m just passing by.

Oh, the bartender knows, but won’t say a word,

Been hearing the same old troubles stirred.

What happens here don’t leave my hands,

I mix their sorrow, watch it land.

One man stumbles, one woman cries,

Some folks drink just to close their eyes.

I clean the counter, keep the score,

Seen love walk out through that swinging door.

Reflections in the glass, dreams that fade,

Visions of a life, so easily betrayed.

With every pour, a heartache shared,

In the chorus of ash, I know they’ve cared.

Oh, the bartender knows, but won’t say a word,

Been hearing the same old troubles stirred.

What happens here don’t leave my hands,

I mix their sorrow, watch it land.

[Bridge]I ain’t their savior, I ain’t their friend,

But I hold their stories till the night finds its end.

With the low, resonant chords playing soft and slow,

The tales of the heartache, they come and they go.

Casual glances, desperate pleas,

As the night's lullaby moves with the breeze.

The clock ticks louder, while shadows grow long,

Tunes of regret, a familiar song.

I watch the moments through their heavy eyes,

Each clink of the glass echoes their sighs.

It ain't no glory, ain't no fame,

Just a humble bar where everyone's the same.

But when the lights dim down, and the whiskey flows,

You can feel the weight of all that the bartender knows.

Oh, the bartender knows, but won’t say a word,

Been hearing the same old troubles stirred.

What happens here don’t leave my hands,

I mix their sorrow, watch it land.

So raise your glass, let the stories spill,

In the silence here, we find the thrill.

With a soft organ hum, a bass line rolls,

The bartender listens, to the beating souls.

Another night ends, as the daylight glows,

In this quiet dance, the bartender knows.
