Tim Greig - BARKEEP Lyrics

Sit down buddy, let me fix you a drink
You had a long day, you had a long week
Got what you need here, got what you don't
A whiskey and a beer, just that same old song
Lay it on me, tell me what's new
Haven't seen you round here, in a minute or two
Are you still runnin' round with, what's her name again
Sorry to hear that, you'll find another my friend
What do you fancy, maybe something strong
Going with a classic, man you can't go wrong
Got a couple tricks hidden up my sleeve
But when the lights come on, man it's time to leave
They call me the Barkeep, I be keeping the bar
I've drank with paupers, I've drank with stars
Tell me your story, I'll tell you who you are
Take a load of buddy, don't need to go real far
The money's alright, you can make a quick dime
Gotta be fast, gotta make the bar shine
See a lot of faces, make a lot of friends
Gotta keep your head on, well that all depends
If you ain't careful, you can lose your mind
Going off the rails almost every night
But if you do something, you better it right
What can you do, that's the Barkeep life
They call me the Barkeep, I be keep the bar
I've drank with paupers, and I drank with stars
Tell me your story, I'll tell you who you are
Take a load of buddy, don't need to go real far
