The bar fly

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
He grew up in a beautiful loving home,
And he always got along with his folks,
It was straight A's going through school,
Then took a year off to travel the world,
That's when everything had changed,
Cause he started to loose his faith,
Being robbed by a man with a gun,
So he could buy himself some drugs, 
[Build]
[Chorus]
You know he'll talk to just about anyone,
All the young ones think that he's fun,
Now he won't leave till it's closing time, 
And everyone in town knows him,
Ohh he's the bar fly,
[Verse 2]
When he saw what's happening on t.v,
He decided to join up with the army,
His battalion was shipped off to war,
Seeing things he ain't seen before, 
Cause it sure did affect him a lot,
Watching his best friend get shot, 
Now he's come back a different man, 
Hoping they'll never have to understand,
[Build]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
The years have been full of memories, 
With lots of good and bad times, 
When he starts telling us all a story,
They'll grab themselves a bar stool,
Cause it'll be one hell of a tale told, 
About how he was bound for glory, 
Those stories we'll never forget, 
This barstool has his name on it,
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ohh, ohh, ohh 
Now we'll miss him at closing time, 
Everyone now knows him,
Ohh he's the bar fly, 
Yeah he's the bar fly.
[Spoken word]
Let's all raise a glass too the bar fly
[Fade]
