George's Bar

My brother and I used to go down to Georges Bar We'd drink Big O's until they closed down the place We'd talk about our lifelong ambition I still recall the smile upon his face He took off for the bright lights down in Austin Said Pat don't you know there ain't no money here He made a million bucks selling computers I still go to George's and drink my beer He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade She didn't even know she caught my eye We dated for a little while back in high school I thought that one day she'd be my wife The road took a turn somewhere around 18 She took off to find her own way Fell in for some Nashville high roller I know he's gonna break her heart one day She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday We'd watch thos football games on TV Sit around and sometimes he'd tell me stories About how simple life used to be My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday I thought to myself he was one a helluva man And I know when the darkness surrounds me He reaches out and he takes my hand He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here He's gone, he mabye gone, I swear to God that he's still here
