12 BAR BLUES (SEARCHING FOR YOU)

I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, I’M SEARCHING FOR YOU
THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, TWELVE HONKY TONK SALOONS
I’M DRINKING AS I’M SEARCHING
YES I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES

IN THE FIRST BAR I DRANK WHISKEY, IN THE SECOND I DRANK BEER
IN THE THIRD BAR I SAT ALONE, WHISHING YOU WERE HERE
I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, I’M SEARCHING FOR YOU
THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, TWELVE HONKY TONK SALOONS
I’M DRINKING AS I’M SEARCHING
YES I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES

IN THE FOURTH BAR I DRANK VODKA, THE FIFTH BAR WAS GIN
IN THE SIXTH BAR I SAT ALONE CAN YOU SEE THE SHAPE I’M IN?
THE SEVENTH BAR WAS TEQUILA, IN THE EIGTH BAR I DRANK WINE
IN THE NINTH BAR I SAT ALONE I COULD NOT HELP BUT CRYING
I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, I’M SEARCHING FOR YOU
THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, TWELVE HONKY TONK SALOONS
I’M DRINKING AS I’M SEARCHING
YES I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES

IN THE TENTH BAR I DRANK BOURBON, THE ELEVENTH BAR WAS RUM
IN THE TWELTH BAR I SAID “ONE MORE”, THE MAN SAID “NO YOU’RE DONE”
I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, I’M SEARCHING FOR YOU
THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES, TWELVE HONKY TONK SALOONS
I’M DRINKING AS I’M SEARCHING, SEARCHING AS I’M DRINKING
THIS DRINKING’S GOT ME HURTING AND THAT’S JUST WHAT’S GOT ME THINKING
THAT’S WHY I’VE GOT THESE TWELVE BAR BLUES
