( Bar song lyrics )
I PASSED THE BAR
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: I passed the bar. I didn't go in.
Not that I didn't have the urge.
Not that the sirens weren't all beckoning.
Not that the demons have been purged.

I passed the bar. I didn't go in.
Walked down the other side of the street.
Walked to the home where there's a reckoning.
Walked to what means the most to me.

2: I passed the bar. I left it behind.
Too many times that's not the case.
Too many times I took the chance to hide.
Too many times I've been a waste.

I passed the bar. I left it behind.
Somehow I kept it out of my head.
Somehow I squelched that nagging voice inside.
Somehow I conquered what I dread ...

BRIDGE:
For the moment, if only for this instant.
For the moment, if only just for now.

3: I passed the bar. The bottle is smashed.
Now I can have more time to think.
Now I can spend more time with those I love.
Now I don't have to take that drink.

CODA:
I passed the bar.
I passed the bar.
I passed the bar.
I passed the bar.
But I am just a little bit thirsty right now ...
