When I See This Bar - Kenny Chesney

Well I see the souls of so many friends

And I see us all back here again

With sandy floors and ceiling fans

A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
That fill my memories like a tip jar

Yeah that's what I see

When I see this bar

I see tourists at Christmas time

And I taste beers with a hint of lime

I feel lonely cause it's not the same

Different faces and different names
Living like pirates out among the stars

Yeah that's what I see

When I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still when I walk in this place

And I see a kid coming into his own

And a man learning to move on

Somehow trying to find his way

A dreamer betting on blind faith
Chasing that sun and following his heart

Yeah that's what I see

When I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still when I walk in this place

A few have moved on back to Maine

Jacksonville and Key Biscayne

Some are still living the dream

Stuck in still life it seems
No matter where they've been

Or where they are

Yeah I see 'em here

When I see this bar

When I see this bar

I wonder where we go from here

(That's what I see when I see this bar)
Life ain't over but it's always near
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
I think about all the good times that we had
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
How could we be so close now so far apart
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
That's what I feel that's what I see

Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see this bar
