WHO BUILDS A TOWN
WITHOUT A NEON LIGHT
THERE SHOULD BE
A PLACE
WHERE THE LONELY
GO AT NIGHT
FOR PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME
WHO JUST WANT TO
DISAPPEAR
IN THE SMOKE
AND THE DARKNESS
MAYBE DROP
A COUPLE TEARS
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
'CAUSE I NEED A DRINK
A LITTLE PLACE
NOT TOO FAR
WHERE I DON'T
HAVE TO THINK
OR WONDER
WHO YOU'RE WITH
DON'T WANNA WONDER
WHERE YOU ARE
THAT MIGHT DO THE TRICK
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
THERE'S A BANK
DOWN THIS STREET
IT HELPED US
BUY THIS HOUSE
THAT I NO LONGER WANT
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
IN IT NOW
AND THE CHURCH
ON THE CORNER
WHERE I CAN GO
AND PRAY
AND THE DOORS
ARE ALWAYS OPEN
I DON'T WANNA GO
TODAY
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
'CAUSE I NEED A DRINK
A LITTLE PLACE
NOT TOO FAR
WHERE I DON'T
HAVE TO THINK
OR WONDER
WHO YOU'RE WITH
DON'T WANNA WONDER
WHERE YOU ARE
THAT MIGHT DO THE TRICK
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
WE HAD EVERYTHING
WE NEEDED
TO BUILD A LIFE
AND SETTLE DOWN
EVERYTHING
WAS RIGHT THERE
'TIL YOU WEREN'T
AROUND
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
'CAUSE I NEED A DRINK
A LITTLE PLACE
NOT TOO FAR
WHERE I DON'T
HAVE TO THINK
OR WONDER
WHO YOU'RE WITH
DON'T WANNA WONDER
WHERE YOU ARE
YEAH THAT MIGHT
DO THE TRICK
THIS TOWN NEEDS A BAR
