lyrics

I was sitting on a bar stool throwing back a little
When I saw three little cuties so I picked the one in the middle
Woke up the next morning to the sun shining bright
Said, everything looked better in the bar room light
Now come on
You been there come on

Now I told the big ol bouncer boy I bet you're just a sissy
When he tried to take a swing at me I thought for sure he'd miss me
Well the doctor said, boy'd you even put up a fight
I said, everything looked better in the bar room light
now come on
you been there come on

(chorus)
Now I'd welcome an investigation into that bar room illumination
There's gotta be something in a neon sign
That makes an easy living boy just lose his mind
And my only explanation for my recent altercations
Is electrified gas in that neon tube
Must simple distort everything in view
Now come on
You been there come on

Now I jumped up on the dance floor to show her I could move it
Cause all the ladies know if you can move it you can do it
Next day I said baby how'd ya like last night
She said everything looked better in the bar room light
Now come on
You been there come on

(repeat chorus)
