That smoke's supposed to cover you up

And cloud my mind

This drink should be gettin' me drunk

And getting me by

It should be easy to do what I came here for

But the second you walk through the door.

This bar don't work anymore

You're giving it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinning you round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missing you

I was just drinking through, baby

It's driving me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

That I'm right back where I was before

This bar don't work anymore.

This crowd's supposed to drown you out

All night long

Some pretty girl's supposed to turn things around

And maybe turn me on

I swore this neon would burn you out for sure

Baby, tell me what I'm paying 'em for.

This bar don't work anymore

You're giving it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinning you round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missing you

I was just drinking through, baby

It's driving me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

That I'm right back where I was before

This bar don't work anymore.

They might as well close it down

Shut it down go 'head and board up the windows and lock the doors

'cause this bar don't work anymore

You're giving it a hell of a job to do

The way he's spinning you round on the floor

Brings back the midnight missing you

I was just drinking through, baby

It's driving me crazy

Even the whiskey can't ignore

Still hung up on when I was yours

This bar don't work anymore.
