1000 Nights

If the Bar Could Talk

Written by Drew Foskey

Verse 1

I ain’t much to look at—worn down, cracked yeah I got scars

A few wobbly stools, just pull one up—you’ve come this far

I’ve seen more life than most ever do

And I remember all of it—yeah, that includes you

Verse 2

I’ve held first dates and watched final fights

Stood by good men on their hardest nights

I’ve seen lovers whisper, seen liars shout

Yeah, the truth always finds its way out

Chorus

I don’t preach, I don’t cry, I don’t ask the reasons why

I don’t flinch while drinks fly by

I’ve held your stories in bourbon and beer

In lipstick and laughter through all these years

I’ve seen it all through a thousand nights

Yeah, I’ve seen it all through a thousand nights

Verse 3

The barstool spins round and round

Same old stories in the same old town

Different names, same reasons why

I’ve seen the toll of chasing old hellos and new goodbyes

Verse 4

I’ve seen cowboys,

strippers,

and a preacher or two

Heard men confess things God never knew

Some come to hide, some come to be seen

I love my job—if you know what I mean

Chorus (Repeat)

I don’t preach, I don’t cry, I don’t ask the reasons why

I don’t flinch while drinks fly by

I’ve held your stories in bourbon and beer

In lipstick and laughter through all these years

I’ve seen it all through a thousand nights

Yeah, I’ve seen it all through a thousand nights

Outro

So pull up a stool, don’t need a reason why

Just order some proof and give it a try

I’ll still be here when the crowd breaks away

Out into the night… when last call plays
