JUNIOR'S BAR

Original Iron City Houserockers version

I'm going down to Junior's Bar just to have a drink
Searching for a one-night rendezvous
The girls are standing at the bar all sleazed up and looking good
I sit down and show them all my new tattoo

Junior's Bar where the band is playing just for me
They play real loud, they move the crowd, it's a poor boy's symphony
Junior's bar until they kill the neon lights
I hope I don't go home alone tonight
I hope I don't go home alone tonight

Now Junior works behind the bar, doesn't miss a single night
I always have a place where I can go
The girls down there are something else, they sure know how to roll
They sure have taught me everything I know

Junior's Bar where the band is playing just for me
They play real loud, they move the crowd, it's a poor boy's symphony
Junior's Bar until they kill the neon lights
I hope I don't go home alone tonight
I hope I don't go home alone tonight

I'm tired of sitting home at night glued to my TV
I got to find someone to break the spell and spend the night with me

Julie gets in all the bars with her fake ID
She's just seventeen but she's old enough for me
I got to make my move before they play the final song
Bought a drink, turned around, she was gone

Junior's Bar where the band is playing just for me
They play real loud, they move the crowd, it's a poor boy's symphony
Junior's Bar until they kill the neon lights
Looks like I'm alone again tonight
Looks like I'm alone again tonight
Looks like I'm alone again tonight, tonight
Looks like I'm alone again tonight, tonight
Looks like I'm alone again tonight, tonight
Looks like I'm alone again tonight, tonight
Looks like I'm alone... [fades out]
