[Verse 1] That smoke's supposed to cover you up And cloud my mind This drink should be gettin' me drunk Mm-mm, and gettin' me by It should be easy to do what I came here for But the second you walk through the door [Chorus] This bar don't work anymore You're givin' it a hell of a job to do The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor Brings back the midnight missin' you I was just drinkin' through, baby It's drivin' me crazy Even the whiskey can't ignore That I'm right back where I was before This bar don't work anymore [Verse 2] This crowd's supposed to drown you out All night long Some pretty girls supposed to turn things around Mm-mm, and maybe turn me on I swore this neon would burn you out for sure Baby, tell me what I'm paying 'em for? [Chorus] This bar don't work anymore You're givin' it a hell of a job to do The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor Brings back the midnight missin' you I was just drinkin' through, baby It's drivin' me crazy Even the whiskey can't ignore Yeah, I'm right back where I was before This bar don't work anymore [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] They might as well close it down, shut it down Go 'head and board up the windows and lock the doors [Chorus] 'Cause this bar don't work anymore You're givin' it a hell of a job to do The way he's spinnin' you 'round on the floor Brings back the midnight missin' you I was just drinkin' through, baby It's drivin' me crazy Even the whiskey can't ignore Still hung up on when I was yours This bar don't work anymore
