ROADHOUSE BOUNCER BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

came into town on a one-way bus
no backing out once you put your hand
it's a matter of faith, a matter of trust
when you take the money you make your stand

roadhouse bouncer
that's what I am
ask me the same
and I'll tell you again

roadhouse bouncer
that's what I said
I'll get all the sleep I need
after I'm dead

it was the kind of place
where they sweep up the eyeballs after they close
the kind of a place
where hell done froze
expect the unexpected
or take it outside
never start anything in the bar
less you wanna free ride

Take the biggest
meanest guy in the world,
shatter his kneebone
and he'll drop like a stone

people who want a good time
stay off of the killing floor
too many troublemakers
only make more

too many middle age kids
bad drunks and lovers of crime
don't know how to behave
too stupid to have a good time

roadhouse bouncer
that's what I am
don't even try to pretend
that I am your friend

roadhouse bouncer
I know the score
escort this gentleman
out of the door

I'm gonna be nice
until it's time to not be nice

I gotta degree NYU
Philosophy
searching for faith
and how to be free
am I a saint or a sinner?
the answer is yes
how did I get to be here?
just lucky I guess

roadhouse bouncer
that's what I am
ask me the same
and I'll tell you again

roadhouse bouncer
that's what I said
I'll get all the sleep I need
after I'm dead
