Sometimes a bad breakup can send someone into a destructive spiral of poor decisions. This song tells the story of a man who snaps after his girlfriend kicks him out of their trailer home. In a drunken state, he steals her father's car and crashes it deliberately, knowing this parole violation will land him back in prison. The narrator seems caught in a cycle of self-sabotage, recognizing his anger issues but feeling unable to change. While sitting at a bar waiting to be arrested, he reflects on his actions with a mix of regret and resignation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of small-town life, failed relationships, and the way some people respond to heartbreak by burning everything to the ground - both literally and figuratively. It's a raw, honest portrayal of someone who knows they're making bad choices but feels powerless to stop.
Sittin' At A Bar
Lyrics
Bartender I really did it this time
Broke my parole to have a good time
When I got home it was 6 a.m.
The door was locked so I kicked it in
She was trippin' on the bills
I think she was high on some pills
She through my shit out into the yard
Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard
And in my drunkin' stooper
I did what I should of never done
Now I'm sittin' here talking to you
Drunk and on the run
I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her father car
Crashed that chevorlet and then stepped away
You know mo I'll probably get ten years
So just give me beers til they get here
Yeah I know the sun is comin' up
And ya'll are probably gettin' ready for closin' up
But I'm trying to drown my soul
I'm tired of this life on a dirt road
And everythang that I love is gone
And I'm tired of hangin' on
She got me sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She stole my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her father's car
Crashed that chevorlet and then stepped away
I guess it's meant to be
Romance is misery
So much for memories
And now I'm headed to the Penitentiary
See me on T.V.
The next cop series
I am a danger
I guess I shoul've done something about my anger
But I'll never learn
Real things I don't concern
I poor kerosene on everything I love and watch it burn
I know it's my fault
But I wasn't happy it was over
She through a fit so I crashed that chevorlet
And now I'm goin' back again
Back to the pin to see my friends
And when we all pile out that county van
They'll ask me where I've been
I've been at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the outside
She stole my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the keys to her father's car
Crashed that chevorlet and then stepped away
