I sat down on a barstool, like a darn 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
And God made a man, the 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 madе a bar
For some guys it’s a good time
The half pricе, half dozen buckets of beer
Some say it’s a cover band, that’s a cover man
I know why they’re here
It didn’t go the way he planned it
Damn, the devil did some damn things
So God made the world in seven short days
He said it was good, I bet it was great
And God made man, the 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 star
God made the world in seven short days
He said it was good, I bet it was great
And God made man, the 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
