lyrics

I spend my time slinging booze, beer, and wine
6 nights a week at this bar
I live on the south side
In a one-room apartment
And I drove an old beat up car
But I got it good in this old neighborhood
I pick spirits up when they're down
They bring me their troubles
I pour 'em a double
When I'm needed
I'll be around

I can spread good cheer
With a warm smile and cold beer
And you can say what's your mind
Let that weight on your shoulder
Roll off like a boulder
This is your place to unwind
Cause I'm your bartender
I'm a bad day ender
A friend when you find yourself down
If you've got the blues
Well have I got the booze
If you need me, I'll be around

I'll be around
You can find me in any old town
Setting 'em up while they knock 'em down
I'll be around

I hear all the stories
The hard lucks, the glories
The ups, downs, and all in-between
I'll listen if you share
But it's going nowhere
Your secret's safe here with me
Cause I'm your bartender
An expert ear lender
A friend when you find yourself down
If you've got the blues
Well have I got the booze
Should you need me, I'll be around

So bring me your troubles
and I'll pour you a double
When you find yourself feeling down
When you've got the blues
Then with me you can't lose
If you need me, I'll be around

Yeah this watering hole
Here is good for the soul
It picks spirits up when they're down
so bring me your troubles
I"ll pour you a double
Come see me, I'll be around
