Sparkle City Bars - chAng

My ode to the bars and taverns of sparkle city, aka Spartanburg, South Carolina.


lyrics:
If I could I'd hang downtown all the day
sleep till noon and dance the night away
but it's a job just to make a little round
if ya ain't got a car in this sparkle city town

I got a scooter but it's dang broken down again
buses run but they stop when night begins
I could walk but I live far away
from the Spartanburg bars downtown

***
I'd get drunk and I'll dance in a craze
but I'd rather be playin' up on stage
I like to sing ya'll the songs that I wrote
plus it's hard drunk drinkin' in between notes
***

I got some friends but they're in the same boat as me
DUI's oh my what a tragedy
now a few of them drive anyways
but they're sure to get caught now one of these days

We're all doomed to get locked up now and then
when only lawyers know the law now that's a sin
but that won't stop us all from gettin' down
to the Spartanburg bars downtown

***
I'd get drunk and I'll dance in a craze
but I'd rather be playin' up on stage
I like to sing ya'll the songs that I wrote
plus it's hard drunk drinkin' in between notes
***

I realize it's a tragical comedy
I'm broke and it's not cause of the economy
I don't care what the rest of ya'll say
I'm here to have fun and I do it this way

I don't wanna hear religion or your politics
just fun to get downtown and have some kicks
and we'll do it the sparkle city way
in the Spartanburg bars downtown
