I Want to Drink in a Bar

Lil' Nas X duetted with Billy Ray Cyrus Next year came the deadly coronavirus Everybody staying inside Everybody trying to hide Peeking out of windows wearing homemade masks I'm not sure how long we can live like that Don't misunderstand, I'm a fan of public Health and safety, and man, we need a lot Of each of those lately, but we can't live in caves In burrows or holes Leave them for the hobbits, the orcs and the trolls You don't need wisdom like Gandalf or smarts like Sauron To know that social distance is an oxymoron I wanna drink in a bar I want to go drink in a bar You can come too Whoever you are Imagine we could drink in a bar Yes, imagine Just taking a seat on a stool next to me and we'd say "Hey, it's nice to meet you" Clink our glasses and make a new friend Imagine we could do that again I don't mean this to be creepy and it might be too much But to quote the Boss I need a little human touch I wanna drink in a bar I want to go drink in a bar You can come too Whoever you are Imagine we could drink in a bar And I would use all my government emergency money To buy a round for everybody Even the guy in the camo and the MAGA hat OK, maybe not him But I'd like to think that This bar could be the dawn of a new society With no more paranoia, fear or anxiety I wanna drink in a bar I want to go drink in a bar You can come too Whoever you are Imagine we could drink in a bar I want to dance closer than the candles on a menorah Quiero baila la lambada, el tango, the hora Arm in arm with friends and strangers Oblivious to invisible dangers Kissing on the cheek 'cause it seems cool and Italian Try that now and the cops will send a hazmat battalion I wanna drink in a bar I want to go drink in a bar You can come too Whoever you are Imagine we could drink in a bar You can choose the place, I'm not picky I'll go anywhere The floors can be sticky I don't need a chair In fact, packed like sardines is the stuff of my dreams People and music It's all that I need And when this ends, friends, I'll buy everybody a beer Until then I'll be here binging Cheers What'd you like, Norm? A reason to live (oh) Keep 'em coming I want to drink in a bar I wanna go drink in a bar You can come too Whoever you are Imagine we could drink in a bar Think, if we could drink in a bar Imagine we could drink in a bar
