Story Behind The Song
Joints I've played in and observations I've made

Lyrics
CORNER BAR WORDS & MUSIC BY BOB LARRO
CIGARETTE SMOKE-SCOTCH IN A GLASS
DRINK IT DOWN BABY-THINK OF THE PAST
WHERE?D IT ALL GET YOU- NOT VERY FAR
JUST AS FAR AS THE CORNER BAR
PLAYIN? THE JUKE BOX ? HEARIN? A SONG
BRINGS BACK A MEMORY- GOOD LOVE THAT WENT WRONG
A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME - A BRIGHT SHINING STAR
YOU?LL NEVER FIND AT THE CORNER BAR
SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST LIKE YOU
GOT NOWHERE TO GO - GOT NOTHIN? TO DO
SO YOU MAKE SOME SMALL TALK AND HAVE ANOTHER DRINK
NO REASON FOR REASON ? NO REASON TO THINK
TILL THE BARTENDER SAYS IT?S TIME TO CLOSE
YOU PRETEND THAT YOUR HAPPY - HOPE NOBODY KNOWS
YOU?RE A LONELY OLD FOOL-THAT?S JUST WHAT YOU ARE
EVERY NIGHT AT THE CORNER BAR
