I sat down on a barstool, like a dern fool

'Cause she walked out again

Bartender said, "I got you, yeah, 'cause I, too

Have been in your boots, my friend

Opened up back in '85

Got me over my first wife

Been stayin' busy since the first night"

It's a story old as time

God made the world in seven short days

He said it was good, I bet it was great

Then God made a man, and man got lonely

He said, "Please, Lord, if I could only

Have an angel to hold in my arms"

So God made a girl, His best work of art

Oh, but He didn't make no place to go

when she breaks your hеart

So man made a bar

For some guys it's a good time, thе half price

Half dozen buckets of beer

Some say it's a cover band, that's a cover man

I know why they're here

Didn't go the way you planned it

Damn, the devil did some damage

So God made the world in seven short days

He said it was good, I bet it was great

Then God made a man, and man got lonely

He said, "Please, Lord, if I could only

Have an angel to hold in my arms"

So God made a girl, His best work of art

Oh, but He didn't make no place to go

when she breaks your heart

So man made a bar

Yeah, man made a bar

Sometimes an angel falls too hard

Loses more than just a piece of her heart

And she needs a place to go and make a brand new start

God made the world in seven short days

Said it was good, I bet it was great

God made a man, man got lonely

He said, "Please, Lord, if I could only

Have an angel to hold in my arms"

So God made a girl, His best work of art

Oh, but He didn't make no place to go

when she breaks your heart

So man made a bar

Man made a bar

Yeah, man made a bar
