Hey bartender I need a drink
I’ll tell you my tale if you will be my shrink
just give me the truth am I just a lie or
am I still a good guy?
There’s only so much I can do
before last call when the clock strikes two
so I’ll make this one strong and act like nothing’s wrong
cause you’re such a good guy
I keep coming back
to drown away this pain
I’m trying to find that perfect song
to give me some fortune and fame
Hey bartender I need another bump
a glass of love on the rocks could get me over this hump
although I’ve done nothing wrong
I can’t sell no songs so
am I still a good guy?
There’s only so much I will say
I need a good tip from you cause I’ve made nothing today
so this next one’s on me although it’s hardly free but
you’re such a good guy
I keep coming back
to drown away this pain
I’m trying to find that perfect song
hiding inside my brain
Hey bartender I need one last shot
to make me believe that I am what I’m not
cause tomorrow will come and I might not realize
that I’m still a good guy
Ok friend I do as I’m told
So here’s a double shot for you for each lane in the road
When the headache’s gone you know
you’ll write that song
cause you’re such a good guy
you’re such a good guy
you’re just a good guy
