Sittin' In a Bar
Written by Gordie MacKeeman

Sittin' in a bar with nobody
Making my selection of one of these wannabes
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight
I'm okay with the average life, all I'm looking for is a loving wife
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight

There used to be a time I would flash a smile, and the girls would come a running, they'd be going wild.
But now I'm just a lonely guy in a bar.
I'm not over the hill, but got a good view.
Haven't been young stuff in a while it's true.
I see loneliness before the night is though

Bartender says it's time to go
I'll give you one more drink, then you gotta hit the road.
I get off my stool, to make one round.
To see if what I am looking for is in this crowd.
I knew before I left my seat, what I'm looking for can't be found.

Sittin' in a bar with nobody
Making my selection of one of these wannabes
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight
I'm okay with the average life, all I'm looking for is a loving wife
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight

Bartender says it's time to go.
As I told you before, it's time you outta hit the road.
As I make my way on towards the door I tell myself, I'll come here no more.
But as tomorrow night rolls around, if your looking for me I'll be hanging around

Just Sittin' in a bar with nobody
Making my selection of one of these wannabes
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight
I'm okay with the average life, all I'm looking for is a loving wife
But I think I'm gonna be alone tonight
