Charlie Robison - Barlight lyrics

Well, when I was young My momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed And though they sounded mighty fine They made no sense to me And now that I am all grown up It seems my nights have changed as such So I went out and made me up A nursery rhyme for me It goes barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle And the girls sing along with the tunes Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights And you can shut down this saloon You know, I never understood How a big ole gal can raise no kids in a shoe And any old Jack goes jumping a candle Needs to find something better to do And a rub a dub dub, three men in a tub Sure sounds kinda funny to me So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme And it's the only one I'll sing It goes barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle And the girls sing along with the tunes Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights And you can shut down this saloon I said, "I never understood How a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe And any old Jack goes jumpin' a candle Needs to find something better to do" And a rub a dub dub, three men in a tub Sure sounds kinda funny to me So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme And it's the only one I'll sing It goes barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle And the girls sing along with the tunes Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights And you can shut down this saloon I said, "Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights And you can shut down this saloon"
