We knew he could jump
We didn't know how far
So he raised the bar, raised the bar
It didn't look too high
It didn't look too hard
So he raised the bar, raised the bar
Bets were taken by his brother
His feet got tangled in each other
And he hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He wasn't being honest
With the money God above
He raised the bar, raised the bar
Gonna get himself a job
Doing something that he loved
He'd raise the bar, raise the bar
Work came in like thunder
But the money was bad, he went under
He had hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He had a messy love
He was almost scarred
He raised the bar, raised the bar
Gonna get him one
That didn't make his life so hard
He'd raise the bar, raise the bar
She came in a dream gone crazy
But after a while he got lazy
And she left, she left, she left
So he hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
He hit the bar, hit the bar
