Lyrics"This Bar Remembers" Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1a] It was two-for-one on whiskey shots And Hank was two sheets and forgettin' a lot Sat at the bar with a bleach-blonde grin He didn't know who he was messin' with [Verse 1b] 'Cause through the doors came fire and flame In curlers, boots, and my last name She said, "Move your hands or lose your life" Y'all, that's the moment the bar met my wife [Pre-Chorus] She had rage, mascara, and a cast-iron pan And I spilled my beer when she screamed, "I CAN!" [Chorus] This bar remembers that hillbilly scream The Hee Haw brawl and shattered dreams My wife threw chairs like WWE Yelled, "Tell that skank to fight me!" The jukebox quit, the crowd backed down She climbed onstage in her nightgown You don't forget a fight like that Yeah, this bar remembers -- and it still looks flat [Verse 2a] She slapped Miss Blondie into Tuesday night Then chugged a beer and said, "That's right!" Took a shot, lit a Marlboro Red And hollered, "Play me Willie or someone's dead!" [Verse 2b] The sheriff showed, but he backed away Said, "Ain't no laws in love or rage" She kissed me hard, then threw my phone And rode a barstool like a rodeo clone [Pre-Chorus] She's 5-foot-2 of pure "bless your heart" And she tore that honky-tonk apart [Double Chorus] This bar remembers her war cry yell The "Hee Haw!" stomp that rang like hell She tossed a dart that hit the clock Then dared the bouncer to come take stock It's where revenge wore pink hair curlers And turned my world into a trailer twirler The bar still shakes when we come back Yeah, this bar remembers that attack [Bridge - Spoken/Shouted Over Banjo Breakdown] "Honey, grab your purse and the pool stick -- we ain't done yet!" "Someone hold my mule -- no, not you, Darlene!" "GET HIM, SIS!" [Final Chorus + Tag] This bar remembers, don't you doubt She cleaned house and cleared it out From the jukebox to the neon sign She flipped the switch -- and the whole dang line So next time you think to cheat and sit Just remember -- she remembers it Yeah this bar remembers, clear as day And my face still twitches when they play... "Jolene." |
