Yeah, everybody needs a bar
A spot that they can go
A band they wanna hear
And a beer they wanna hold
A dart that they can throw
Some shit that they can shoot
Everybody's got a friend when you sittin' on a stool

Every cornfield needs rain (yeah)
Every pickup truck needs gas
Every cane pole needs bait
Every cowboy needs a hat

When the workweek's been long
But it all just paid off
And it's Friday at 5: 01

Yeah, everybody needs a bar
A spot that they can go
A band they wanna hear
And a beer they wanna hold
A dart that they can throw
Some shit that they can shoot
Everybody's got a friend when you sittin' on a stool
Where you can catch a buzz
Maybe even fall in love
It don't matter who you are, nah
Everybody needs a bar

I need a bar that I can shoot some pool
Make a bet, bum another cigarette
Make a bud, say, "Next round's on me"
I need a bar that I can cut a rug
Let it loose, kiss my girl in the corner booth
And do it all again next week (let's go)

Yeah, everybody needs a bar
A spot that they can go (yeah)
A band they wanna hear
And a beer they wanna hold
A dart that they can throw
Some shit that they can shoot
Everybody's got a friend when you sittin' on a stool
Where you can catch a buzz (ah yeah)
Maybe even fall in love
It don't matter who you are, nah
Everybody needs a bar
That's right

It's like home sweet home
When you've been gone
They say, "It ain't the same without you"
They know your name
They know your drink
And a little too much about you
Everybody needs a bar, mm
Ah yeah, a little local watering hole

Yeah, everybody needs a bar
A spot that they can go
A band they wanna hear
And a beer they wanna hold
A dart that they can throw
Some shit that they can shoot
Everybody's got a friend when you sittin' on a stool
Where you can catch a buzz (ah, you can catch a buzz)
Maybe even fall in love (yeah, even fall in love)
It don't matter who you are
Everybody needs a bar (everybody needs a bar)

Yeah, these days we got Luke Bryan's, Aldean's, Fgl's on 3rd
Blake's got Ole Red, Whiskey Row, that's Dierks'

'Cause everybody needs a bar (everybody needs a bar)
Everybody needs a bar, oh (everybody needs a bar)
