Barstools and Dreamers - Widespread Panic

(This transcription lies heavily in my interpretation of the song — the

Lyrics in many parts are unclear, but my words sound right… see what you

Come up with, let me know!)

(I'd also like to say that this was the overall hardest song to do — not only

Because it’s long, but also because there’s so many puns and hard words to

The barstool’s built for dreamers

Will fit fine, and find

All those in the world whose dreams have died

But tonight they’re only taking thirsty people

Who’ve been pulling on their drinks

From a glass lies appaling quiet

And in the drink there swim the swimmers

And those who swims have dried

You take another look

Take another poll

Take another pull

Before you take a ride

Heir to an open barstool

Right there just wanna marry the fool

Mary sees the bartender’s needs

And she sets in a bottle that she was born to be

I say that’s cool

Just right — right for a fool

Thinking whiskey, she bought me a drink

I won’t cross a word of what the lady thinks

Pray I don’t cross what the lady thinks

No, she’s been thinking out too loud, though

This time I can’t hear the pinball machine

And there’s a birdman playing tired sideway bongo
