The Bacon Brothers - Boys in Bars lyrics

Now you could hear that jukebox pound But you could barely see inside Now rumor had it years ago Is where that girl had died Now why they caled it a cafe Well I never understood Cause there aint no tables on the street The coffee tastes like mud But every night at five o'clock They'd start to come around We'd begin to set em up And they would knock em down Sometime after midnight With a pocket full of green We'd lock the doors and step outside And our days would begin Cause we were boys in bars Runnin over the shootin stars Cruisin Broadway without cars We were gonna take that town Nothin there would knock us down That old apple would be ours George was a lawyer In an old Brooks Brothers suit And Glen worked for homicide He had a pistol in his boot Franco was a sculptor Who looked something like an eagle Chas did a lot of things And none of them were legal Debbi was a waitress And she came all the way from Queens Sit around and wonder how She got into those jeans Nicky tended bar So he always drank for free Johnny was a lover And he taught everything to me And we were boys in bars Cool as ice cubes, Sharp as darts Runnin down all those lonely hearts All that liquid goes All those lives we sewed All those medals all those scars Last night I was thinkin back To those sweet old Disco days But you know the memories were cloudy Through that thick Marlboro haze Freezin outside 54's Just hopin he'd pick me Skiing down Columbus Just like Jean Claude k**ey Back before the ticking clcok Made all of us it's slave And back before the search for love Could put you in your grave I'd never trade the days I lost For the years that I have found Sometimes late at night I can hear that jukebox pound And we were boys in bars Runnin over the shootin stars Cruisin Broadway without cars We were gonna take that town Nothin there would knock us down That old apple would be ours Boys in bars We were boys in bars Runnin over the shootin stars Boys in bars We were boys in bars Cruisin Broadway without cars Boys in bars We were boys in bars Cool as ice cubes sharp as darts Boys in bars We were boys in bars Runnin down all those lonely hearts
