Lyrics of Barlight

Well, when i was young
My momma read me nursery rhymes beside my bed
And though they sounded mighty fine
They made no sense to me

And now that i am all grown up
It seems my nights have changed as such
So i went out and made me up
A nursery rhyme for me

It goes barlight, bar bright
First bar that i see tonight
Wish i may, wish i might
Find someone to hold me tight

Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon

You know, i never understood
How a big ole gal can raise no kids in a shoe
And any old jack goes jumping a candle
Needs to find something better to do

And a rub a dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kinda funny to me
So i made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
And it's the only one i'll sing

It goes barlight, bar bright
First bar that i see tonight
Wish i may, wish i might
Find someone to hold me tight

Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon

I said, "i never understood
How a big ole gal could raise no kids in a shoe
And any old jack goes jumpin' a candle
Needs to find something better to do"

And a rub a dub dub, three men in a tub
Sure sounds kinda funny to me
So i made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
And it's the only one i'll sing

It goes barlight, bar bright
First bar that i see tonight
Wish i may, wish i might
Find someone to hold me tight

Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
And the girls sing along with the tunes
Just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon

I said, "just a one more dance 'til you turn off the lights
And you can shut down this saloon"
