if I had a bar

if I had a bar
the kind of place I'd own
would be a bar 
where I played guitar
I'd call it home sweet home
it would be my job
to make the noise
each night I'd play
buckmaster's choice
and you would eat 
your burger with avocado
the food and the mood and the music
would make you shout "bravo!"
you'd rate it four stars
if I had a bar

if I had a bar
the jukebox would play
only songs by Sam Cooke
and Hank Williams Sr.
all damn night and day
and people would drink
tequila with lime
couples be dancing
in three quarter time
clear out to the farthest car
if I had a bar

if I had a bar
I'd ask her to waltz
in my arms 
to a new melody
I'd hold her close
yeah, I'd be the most
impressive man she'd ever seen
and the place would empty
except for us two
I'd take every dream 
and I'd make it come true
like fireflies in mason jars
if I had a bar
if I had a bar
