This Bar Needs a Town by Mark Powell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That four way stop in this one horse town
Is easy to miss if you don't slow down
There's a shack on the corner where a honky tonk lived
The door was open so I walked in
Behind a dusty case of Shiltz came a old creepy voice
With chills up my arm he said "Can I help you boy?
I'm surprised you came in, most think that we're closed
But we open for drifters and a couple stray ghosts"

[Chorus]
You see this town needs some girls, girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town

[Verse 2]
As he flipped on the lights the knee hops came on
That juke box was burnin' an old Haggard song
All of a sudden it hit me like a truck
I could see every rеason he wouldn't board it up
Had that cool classic edge you don't see any morе
There should be a long line of folks at the door
They should all be here laughin' and kickin' up salt
But the reason it's empty ain't nobodies fault
[Chorus]
'Cause this town needs some girls, girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
This town needs some girls, girls wanna dance
And a dance needs a guy to spin around
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
This guy needs a drink, this drink needs a bar
This bar needs a town
