When the music starts to play
I
just grab the closest thing
and press it real close to my chest
I know those
chrome and leather parts
will never try to break my heart
tried and true that
old barstool is the best
.
Well I'd like to raise a cup
to a friend that's
held me up
on a payday celebration or two
sometimes I walk before I crawl
then
hafta sit before I fall
here's a toast to that old barstool under you
.
CHORUS:
I
just love that old honkytonk barstool
cause it's broke my fall a thousand times
or two
we got to dancin' night and day
then you took that stool away
that
left nothin' there to break my fall
the night I fell for you
.
VOCAL BRIDGE:
I
got a date and a place to wait most every night
If you don't show and things are
slow I'll be alright
.
SECOND VERSE:
When I got up from the bar
I couldn't
make it to my car
so I looked around to find my special chair
Then I almost
hit the floor
when I tried to drink some more
but once again that old barstool
was there
.
Well I'd give a wooden nickel
or this barrooms biggest pickle
but
to save my soul I can't get over you
so I made myself a promise
I'm going to
live and love as long as
this old barstool gets my heart when we are through
.
CHORUS:
I
just love that old honkytonk barstool
cause it's broke my fall a thousand times
or two
we got to dancin' night and day
then you took that stool away
that
left nothin' there to break my fall
the night I fell for you
.
TAG:
that
left nothin' there to break my fall
the night ... I fell ... for you
.
"Get
up offa thet barstool! .. I need to sidown!"
