When I See This Bar Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 Well I see the souls of so many friends,

2 And I see us all back here again.

3 With sandy floors and ceiling fans,

4 A Rastafarian one-man band with songs

5 That fill my memories like a tip jar.

6 Yeah, that's what I see

7 When I see this bar.

8 I see tourists at Christmas time,

9 And I taste beers with a hint of lime.

10 I feel lonely cause it's not the same,

11 Different faces and different names,

12 Living like pirates out among the stars.

13 Yeah, that's what I see

14 When I see this bar.

15 Pieces of our past slowly slip away,

16 But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

17 And I see a kid coming into his own

18 And a man learning to move on.

19 Somehow trying to find his way,

20 A dreamer betting on blind faith

21 Chasing that sun and following his heart.

22 Yeah, that's what I see

23 When I see this bar.

24 Pieces of our past slowly slip away,

25 But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

26 A few have moved on back to Maine,

27 Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.

28 Some are still living the dream,

29 Stuck in still life it seems.

30 No matter where they've been,

31 Or where they are,

32 Yeah, I see 'em here

33 When I see this bar.

34 When I see this bar.

35 I wonder where we go from here

36 (That's what I see when I see this bar)

37 Life ain't over but it's always near

38 (That's what I see when I see this bar)

39 I think about all the good times that we had

40 (That's what I see when I see this bar)

41 It makes me happy and it makes me sad

42 (That's what I see when I see this bar)

43 How could we be so close, now so far apart

44 (That's what I see when I see this bar)

45 That's what I feel, that's what I see

46 Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars

47 That's what I see when I see this bar

48 That's what I see when I see this bar
