Lyrics

Sun ain't up but the light's already on
Mirror don't lie, says it's gonna be long
Coffee gone cold on the counter by the sink
First man in, already don't know what he think
Says "Just clean me up," but he movin' his head
Every little twitch got me second-guessin' instead
Comb in my hand, got the fade half done
And look in the mirror like I already lost one
I got them barbershop blues, yeah, they cut me deep
Standin' on my feet, no rest, no sleep
From the first fade line to the last man's beard
Carry every doubt that I never let 'em hear
Yeah, them barbershop blues don't ever let go
In the hum of the clippers and the talk that flows
Make 'em look clean, send 'em out feelin' new
But I'm stuck in this chair with them barbershop blues
Got a man in my chair talkin' 'bout his life
Lost his job, lost his dog, fightin' with his wife
I just nod my head, keep the rhythm tight
Tryna line him up while it's feelin' all night
Next one late, now the whole line mad
Third one no-show, that's the money I had
Sweepin' up hair like the day don't end
Every pile on the floor like a loss I defend
I got them barbershop blues, yeah, they cut me deep
Standin' on my feet, no rest, no sleep
From the first fade line to the last man's beard
Carry every doubt that I never let 'em hear
Yeah, them barbershop blues don't ever let go
In the hum of the clippers and the talk that flows
Make 'em look clean, send 'em out feelin' new
But I'm stuck in this chair with them barbershop blues
Oh, them barbershop blues
Remember my first cut, hands shakin' bad
Cheap set of clippers was all that I had
Now I got a line out the door every day
But that pressure just found a different way
They see the shine, they don't see the grind
Every perfect fade got a cost behind
Yeah, I built this life with my hands and sweat
But this chair got a hold I ain't beatin' yet
I got them barbershop blues, yeah, they cut me deep
Standin' on my feet, no rest, no sleep
From the first fade line to the last man's beard
Carry every doubt that I never let 'em hear
Yeah, them barbershop blues won't ever set me free
It's the life I chose and it's choosin' me
Make 'em look clean, yeah, that's what I do
Even while I'm livin' with them barbershop blues
Buzz hummin' low as I lock that door
Sweep up the day from the shop floor
Same chair waitin' when the sun comes through
Same old life, same barbershop blues
