“The Dive Bar In My Heart” refers to the place you go to; either a place in your mind, or a real place (like the dive bar around the corner), where you can get a break from life’s problems.
Jakob says “I mean — who doesn’t like a dive bar, for starters? Wherever it is, on the street or your heart....
[Verse 1]
Once in a while you still come around
You look me over and you look me down
It's just you and that, that lazy barback
And your favorite little clown
[Verse 2]
You're a long walk from Avenue A
You're a train ride outta your way
You slip in like smoke outta your coat
With a joke that doesn't play
Now that's all she wrote, now I'm on my way
[Refrain]
In the dive bar in my heart
[Verse 3]
Strange to see you on this side of town
It's not your people or your kind of crowd
Just nobodies here, we're drinking flat beer
Away from the battleground
[Verse 4]
There's no sleigh bells in winter time
There's no top shelf or decent wine
It's another slow jam, same awful band
It's the last stop, the end of line
And you're on the list where I'm easy to find
[Refrain]
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
[Bridge]
Every dog has its day
Then don't I too get a bone?
I'd follow you down to Hell in a boat
If that's where you're going
Now if we don't hang together, baby
Then we just hang on our own
[Verse 5]
Now there's snow coming down on the steps
And the locals have already left
And I'll be here late, I'll close up and wait
With your perfume still on my neck
Now the whole world's awake and I've overslept
[Refrain]
In the dive bar in my heart
[Outro]
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
In the dive bar in my heart
