Some one to follow, someone to fear
It keeps me in line, it keeps me in gear
The hand that lashed out brought me to tears
That's why I am drinking up all of these beers

The bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here
This drunken stupor is not what it seems
It helps me laugh, helps me dream

I had a fight with the woman so I stop in to think
I have my psychologist pour me a drink
My head is clouded, so it's plain to see
We'll work things out, oh, the bottle and me

The bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here
This drunken stupor is not what it seems
It helps me laugh, helps me dream

And the bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here
This drunken stupor is not what it seems
It helps me laugh, helps me dream, oh

And the bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here
This drunken stupor is not what it seems
It helps me cry, helps me dream
Your love
