One more stool, one more story
Bartender, keep the truth coming
I came in wearing a workweek smile Cracked at the edges after
a mile You slid a glass like a doctor might
Said take your time,
stay here tonight
The jukebox hums like it knows my name Every sad tune hits
just the same
I talk too big when the room is dim Trying to drown
what could have been
This barstool therapy keeps me upright
Cheap bourbon courage and a soft yellow light I tell my secrets
to the wood and the grain Laugh for a minute then circle
the pain This barstool therapy ain't fixing me
yet But it holds me together
till I can forget
A stranger beside me says heartbreak lies In the space between brave
and alibis He raises his drink to the ones that left To
the good we had and the holes they kept Now the mirror
behind all the bottles and smoke Shows a face learning how to
take a joke
I ain't healed but I'm telling it straight Some nights mercy looks
like staying late When the lights come up,
will I still feel brave Will I carry this hurt,
or let it behave Till then I lean in,
let the silence pour And find a little peace on this worn
out floor
This barstool therapy keeps me upright
Cheap bourbon courage and a soft yellow light I tell my secrets
to the wood and the grain Laugh for a minute then circle
the pain
This barstool therapy ain't fixing me yet But it holds me
together till I can forget
One more stool, one more story
I leave a little lighter than I came
