Barlight - Charlie Robison

Well, when I was young, my mama read me nursery rhymes beside my bed

And though they sounded mighty fine, they made no sense to me

Now that I am all grown up, it seems my nights have changed and such

So I went out and made me up a nursery rhyme for me

It goes bar light, 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 tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights

And you can shut down this saloon

Y’know, I never understood how a big ol' gal

Could 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 bar light, 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 tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon

I said, I never understood how a big ol' gal

Could 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 bar light, 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 tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon

I said, just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon
