YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUE'S
YOU MAY SEE WHITE LIGHTNIN WHEN IT RAINS
AND YOU MAY SEE 50,000 NAMES
GLOWING BRIGHTLY AMONG THE CLOUDS
SOME ARE SINNERS SOME ARE SAINTS
BUT WE'RE ALL STILL JUST DOING TIME
IT'S JUST THE COLD HARD TRUTH
THE RACE IS ALREADY WON
NOW WE'RE SINGING THE BARTENDERS BLUE'S
AND HE STOPED LOVIN HER TODAY
IS A MEMORY I'LL NEVER LOSE
IT'S JUST THE COLD HARD TRUTH
NOW WE'RE SINGING THE BARTENDERS BLUE'S
IF YOU WANNA TAKE THE GRAND TOUR
YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUE'S
HAVE YOURSELF A SHOT OF TENNESSEE WHISKEY
AND START SINGING THE BARTENDERS BLUE'S
