Song Description

Being under 21 and trying to get into a bar

Lyrics

Why are the clubs and the bars in this town
Lettin' all the girls in but keepin' all the boys out
My girl left tonight, we were in such a fight,
I took a lonely drive down the pale moonlight
I gotta go down there to try to make it right

But when I got to the door the man said;
Sorry son, this won't work no more, so I said.....

All I got's this fake ID, mister bouncer
Please don't take it from me
I know I don't look 25 (or 6'9)
But I know my girl is in there now
Can't you help me, get me in somehow
I need to find a place where I'll be found

All this time when the island of souls breathed
Would soon come the day when the night was siezed
When I see her face I lose every trace
And I ain't old enough to get in this place
But I gotta go down there and I just can't keep up this pace

If I could play this game again
I'd burn the candle at all three ends
