Hey bartender
Bring me another drink
I know I’ve had too many but its going down so well
And its not like I have far to stumble
Or that it would be the first time that I fell
Make this one a little stronger
I’m a big girl- I can handle my booze
And so what if I can’t
Not like I have all that much to lose
If I get too drunk
And make a fool of myself
Talking out of my head about stuff
You’ve heard a million times before
It’s not the first time
You’ve helped me out the door
When the night was done
Hey bartender
You can’t cut me off
I have too much time to kill
Too many memories I have to quell
You can’t send me out of here
And back to that lonely hell
Hey bartender
Looks like I did it again
Sorry
It slipped out of my hand
I spilled all that lovely gin
And bartender
Maybe you’d better come around here
Catch me like you always do
I’m passing out again
I had a favorite bartender over on Catalina Island when i lived there that baby sat me more than anyone in my life has since then, i was just remembering him fondly

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
