Keeping Bars in Business

My best friend's ship is sinking

She thinks her man's been cheating

And me, I put my dog down yesterday

And when the walls start falling

I can hear the whiskey calling

Sounds like we could both just use a drink

Ain't that how life goes?

No, we ain't alone

Someone's crying, someone's kissing

Someone's smiling, someone's bitching

Someone's celebrating

While someone's heart is breaking

If you're on cloud nine, or you've been knocked down

There's a neon light on the edge of town

So if the world just keeps on spinning

We'll be keeping bars in business

There's a couple in a back booth

Just got back from Cancun

Getting blue moon drunk in that honeymoon phase

And by the window there's an old man

With a ring still on his left hand

Even though she's been gone, ten years to the day

Someone's crying, someone's kissing

Someone's smiling, someone's bitching

Someone's celebrating

While someone's heart is breaking

If you're on cloud nine, or you've been knocked down

There's a neon light on the edge of town

So if the world just keeps on spinning

We'll be keeping bars in business

Keeping bars in business

Yeah, ain't that how life goes?

No, we ain't alone

No, we ain't alone

Someone's crying, someone's kissing

Someone's smiling, someone's bitching

Someone's celebrating

While someone's heart is breaking

If you're on cloud nine, or you've been knocked down

There's a neon light on the edge of town

So if the world just keeps on spinning

We'll be keeping bars in business

Keeping bars in business

Yeah, life is hard, so it ain't hard

Life is hard, so it ain't hard

Life is hard, so it ain't hard

Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
