On That Note: A Bar Song

Johnny Cash: A boy Names Sue

Honky tonk, bar, and saloon reference in one song.

But I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keener
Roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honky tonks and bars
And kill that man that gave me that awful name

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
Thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue


 
I struck a match
Against the door of Anthony's bar and grill
I was the whining stranger
A fool in love
With time to kill

I can light up your smokes
I can laugh at your jokes
I can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close down this bar
I can gas up my car
I can pack up and mail in my key

 
After the disappointing loss to Cincy, this week, we're looking to drown our sorrows. We will be quoting from songs with titles or lyrics that include the words - Tavern, Saloon, Bar, or other words/phrases that specifically refer to a public drinking establishment.

The following “Bar” definitions ARE NOT ALLOWED: a musical measure, jail cell, or other non-alcohol-serving use.

Last week's OTN was on the topic Perfect. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-perfect.294598/

Your weekly hosts for OTN are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Around the Nassau Town we did roam
Drinking All Night
We got into a fight
