Back with another one to abuse your ears! This one is about a man who would like to inform you how much he enjoys his bar stool. At first it was going to be about reports I've read that bars are losing business because young people aren't into drinking beer or going out anymore, so my character was going to be in his hat and boots at the bar wondering why everybody else was next door at Starbucks while he paid $8 for one beer. Since I dream a working country band will use this song, I thought that might not go over so well, so I changed it to celebrating the honky tonk culture and seeing the bar stool as a front row seat to the good life.

I thought about adding a bridge or more verses, but I got to 3:00 just with this, and a bridge just seemed to break up the momentum. With a real intro and solo this could go to 4:00!

"Bar Stool"

VERSE 1

There's a place I go

when life gets heavy and I'm feeling low

Where the music plays,

and neon lights shine through the haze

PRECHORUS

It's my easy chair

away from all my cares

The place I find my peace of mind

CHORUS

Sittin' on a bar stool

feels pretty d*man cool

In my hat and boots, drinkin' Bud Light

Lookin' for a lady to dance with me tonight

Sittin' on a bar stool

Laughing with friends that are glad that you come

It's a gift from Heaven up above

Sitting on a bar stool

VERSE 2

Fifty hours a week

on a factory floor, on my feet

When I draw my pay

I head to a place on Broadway

PRECHORUS

It's my easy chair

away from all my cares

The place I find my peace of mind

CHORUS

Sittin' on a bar stool

feels pretty d*man cool

In my hat and boots, drinkin' Bud Light

Lookin' for a lady to dance with me tonight

Sittin' on a bar stool

Laughing with friends that are glad that you come

It's a gift from Heaven up above

Sitting on a bar stool

(SOLO, REPEAT CHORUS, END, PYRO GOES OFF, STADIUM GOES CRAZY)
