We Ain’t Leaving This Bar, Patrick (Til We Find You Some Love)

Out here on the road the tires swell and the limits bleed

One minute you’re a hero the next minute you’re asleep

You could fall in love a hundred times and no one would ever know

You could shed a million layers and still be sweating in the snow

Chorus:

But the night is still young our music set is done

And we ain’t leaving this bar Patrick till we find you some love

Verse 2:

Some of these women are crazy, some are gonna drive you wild

The women down in Baton Rouge, they do nothing but make you smile

Some of these men wanna kill me, some wanna love me so

There’s a couple guys in Milwaukee who probably wanna do a little bit of both

Chorus:

Verse 3:

There’s a grandma in South Dakota and she treats me like a star

She tells me she listens to nothing but John Craigie cds and NPR

She says, “when you gonna get famous, boy, when you gonna shine”

I say, “the more famous that you get, honey, the worse songs that you write”

Chorus:

Bridge:

I’m a one beer a night kind of guy, I don’t usually drink a lot

But tonight I’ll match you beer for beer and shot for shot

Verse 4:

I know this tour’s been weird, I know this tour’s been hard

But like you said, “playing to an empty room is still better than any other job”

Maybe we’ll make it to the big time, maybe we’ll just stay here

But this world ain’t nothing but an open road full of beautiful people’s ears
