Mirror In a Barroom

I’m front and center in this barroom Every single night of every week The things I’ve seen would honestly Make you cringe in disbelief And seldom does one look at me At least for very long It sure gets lonely hanging round here In a place where hopes and dreams go to die I’m a mirror in a barroom Reflecting on the souls of those That love has left behind You look to me, I look back at you Your every glass is empty even when it’s full I hope that you will learn Neither Jim nor Jack’s concerned If you dig your final resting place One bottle at a time It sure gets lonely hanging round here In a place where hopes and dreams go to die I’m a mirror in a barroom Reflecting on the souls of those That love has left behind I’ve watched better men than you fall to pieces Cause they hung out with me till closing time If you dig a hole too deep you’ll find that It’ll turn into a mountain, one that you can’t climb It sure gets lonely hanging round here In a place where hopes and dreams go to die I’m a mirror in a barroom Reflecting on the souls of those That love has left behind I’m a mirror in a barroom Reflecting on the souls of those That love has left behind
