Bar Maid Songtext

She was always the one on top
If they grow up and blame me
Well she's the only one they've got

I was tryin' to drink my beer, so I slipped her a little bribe
Two quarters, and a dime, a few ones and a five
Then she told me her life story, and everything in between
How she'd always start to sweat whenever she looked at me
And as stupid as I was, the last place that I saw
Was her bedroom in the dark, when she got up in my crawl
Then I woke up in the morning, with a hangover from hell
And I got one look at her face, and it never sat to well

I wish I'd met a sun maid
In a field of golden raisins
But I had to settle for her
And some might say I was brazen
When that woman asked me out
I had the gall to take her hand
This bar maid from wisconsin Who I could hardly stand

She looked like she'd been crushed under goliath's tramplin' foot
After david hit him with the slingshot, and he fell in a pile of soot
Lord, I'll tell you there's some days when I just wanna hide
But she won't let me run away, and she'd kill me if I tried

In the name of love
In the name of love

I was tryin' to drink my beer, so I slipped her a little bribe
Two quarters, and a dime, a few ones and a five
Then she told me her life story, and everything in between
How she never had a thing, and how much that bribe did mean
I could've bet my life that she'd accept it, and move on
But with the way that things turned out, lord knows that I'd be gone
She's been messing me around, and that's always been the way
And I might just buy a gun, and put that girl in a special place

Put her head up on the mantle
With the deer and reptile scale
And her body in the cradle
While the babies lie, and stare
They're her kids anyway
She was always the one on top
If they grow up and blame me
Well she's the only one they've got

In the name of love
In the name of love
In the name of love
In the name of love

I wish I'd met a sun maid
In a field of golden raisins
In the sunshine, half past noon
Somewhere at the station
But when I met that woman
I had the gall to take her hand
This bar maid from wisconsin
Who I could hardly stand

I wish I'd met a sun maid
In a field of golden raisins
But I had to settle for her
And some might say I was brazen
When that woman asked me out
I had the gall to take her hand
This bar maid from wisconsin
Who I could hardly stand

This bar maid from wisconsin
Who I could hardly stand
