The Bar Around The Bend

Music by Rebekka Paige (SOCAN)

Lyrics by Colby Latocha (SOCAN)

Originally recorded by: The Rifle & The Writer

on the album Flowers of Chance (2017)


Turned on the radio,

To sounds I no longer knew,

Childhood memories gone bad,

Sold as brand new


Blinded by money,

Blinded by fame,

You sold your soul,

While they changed the name


Stories,

Told as songs,

Meant to live on,

After our last bed


The audience,

Will have gone deaf,

As they wish our stories,

Would stay dead


Don't say the sound is gone,

Or that Country is dead,

While you're pretending to be the real deal,

We're playing at the bar around the bend


Don't say you miss Waylon,

Or that Patsy was the queen,

If they were kids today,

You wouldn't buy their CD's


Don't say the sound is gone,

Or that Country is dead,

While you're pretending to be the real deal,

We're playing at the bar around the bend
