Happy hour was a big letdown
It's hard to find good help in this town
It's almost midnight and I still miss her
I need a better bartender
Time ain't workin' cause that's too slow
Can't afford someone new when you're heart's flat broke
There's one thing I need to finally forget her
That's a better bartender
One with a heavier hand
Someone that keeps 'em coming cause they understand
Someone's hurtin' here
I need more than just this ice to disappear
I just need someone who knows that
She'll run through my mind and try not to let her
Like a better bartender
Neon's got that perfect good time glow
The band's playing every party song they know
Stage is set for a big time bender
Just need a better bartender
One with a heavier hand
Someone that keeps 'em coming cause they understand
Someone's hurtin' here
I need more than just this ice to disappear
I just need someone who knows that
She'll run through my mind and try not to let her
Like a better bartender
Need someone who's a lot like me
Who's seen rock bottom from the driver's seat
One with a heavier hand
Someone that keeps 'em coming cause they understand
Someone's hurtin' here
I need more than just this ice to disappear
When the one thing you came to forget
Is the only thing that you still remember
You need a better bartender
Yeah, I need a better bartender
