I've been in honky-tonks and old dive bars
Clear across this country
Drank beach-front beers and big city shots
That cost a little too much money
This guitar's taken me all kind of places
My daddy's only seen on Tv
I love what I do and the places I've seen
But the one thing I've learned about me

I'm little more bars back home
Beer from a bottle
Hiding in the corner of an old map dot
One man band playin' "Black Water"
Knowing every truck in the parking lot
I can have a good time anywhere I go
But give me the neon that frees my soul
'Cause a hurt don't heal and a buzz don't feel
Like it does in the bars back home

If I'm gonna take me a Sunday drive
I'd rather it be at sundown
If I'm ever gonna settle down
It's only gonna be in one town
I'm always gonna be that good ol' boy
Blue jeans and a camouflage hat
But when it comes to a Friday night
And knocking one or two back

I'm little more bars back home
Beer from a bottle
Hiding in the corner of an old map dot
One man band playin' "Black Water"
Knowing every truck in the parking lot
I can have a good time anywhere I go
But give me the neon that frees my soul
'Cause a hurt don't heal and a buzz don't feel
Like it does in the bars back home, yeah

I'm little more bars back home
Beer from a bottle
Hiding in the corner of an old map dot
One man band playin' "Black Water"
Knowing every truck in the parking lot
I can have a good time anywhere I go
But give me the neon that frees my soul
'Cause a hurt don't heal and a buzz don't feel
Like it does in the bars back home
Yeah, a hurt don't heal and a buzz don't feel
Like it does in the bars back home
Yeah, in bars back home
