V1
In the smoky room where the neon hums
Bartender serves drinks and broken thumbs
Strummin' a six-string with a scarred old hand
Living our lives like we always planned
V2
Down the highway with the windows down
Sun's sinking on this dusty town
Eldorado's cruise we have wild-eyed smiles
We'll be gone in just a little while
Ch
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Chasing our dreams under midnight stars
Living loud breaking hearts like glass
We'll never slow down burning up so fast
With Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
V3
Summer nights with the moon in sight
Picking old blues on a old porch swing
Voices echo in the restless night
Together breaking dawn's first light
CH
BR
Can you hear the call of the open sky
Whispered secrets of the miles gone by
[Chorus]
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Chasing our dreams under midnight stars
Living loud breaking hearts like glass
We'll never slow down burning up so fast
With Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars ... Yeah
Very nostalgic for me, in a way. I wasn't in the thick of it, though I wanted to be. I was a spectator at the time. My favorite line--breaking hearts like glass.
Takes me back...
Singing in dive bars , thanks
Song takes me back to the stage looking out across a layer of smoke and the smell that always kept me on the edge of staying or leaving. We called them slime bars back then because both the venues and the patrons were exactly that. It's where the bottom dwellers launched many a career in music.
The song is good and the theme is so spot on. Great beer buying tune.
