Burnin’ Both Ends of the Bar Songtext
von Wade Bowen

On the other end of the bar
Drinkin′ what she always drinks
Neon in her hair
Brand new diamond on her ring
Laughin' and singin′ along to the jukebox songs
She always loves to play

On the other end of the bar
Sittin' across from her
Holdin' on to her hand in that cowboy denim shirt
Damn, that′s one lucky S.O.B.
Sittin′ in my place


She don't know she drives me crazy
Sittin′ in that corner booth
Where I used to call her "baby"
Said a million "I love you's"
I′ll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lightin' up the dark
Yeah, she′s still got a way of settin' fire to this ol' heart
Burning both ends of the bar

On this end of the bar
Looking at those bottles on the shelf
Thinkin′ ′bout switchin' to whiskey
Sittin′ here kickin' myself
Knowin′ it won't change nothin′
'Cause I can tell she's really gone

Yeah, she don′t know she drives me crazy
Sittin′ in that corner booth
Where I used to call her "baby"
Said a million "I love you's"
I′ll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lightin' up the dark
Yeah, she′s still got a way of settin' fire to this ol′ heart
Burning both ends of the bar


Yeah, I'll just sit and sip this beer
Try not to stare too hard
At that you-look-good-in-love smile
Over there lightin' up the dark
Yeah, she′s still got a way of settin′ fire to this ol' heart
Burning both ends of the bar

Yeah, if they die at all
Old flames, they sure die hard
Burning both ends of the bar
