The Lyrics:

THE LOCAL BAR

HANGIN WITH MY BUDDIES AT THE LOCAL BAR
TO CELEBRATE MY WEDDING A NIGHT BEFOE

THIS IS MY HOME
I GREW UP HERE
WHERE I FIT IN
WHERE I DRINK BEER

IT AIN’T PRETTY
WHERE I'VE GROWN
IT’S REAL GRITTY
BUT IT’S MY HOME

WHERE ELSE WOULD I GO
I LIKE THE SHOW
I GREW UP HERE
WHERE I DRINK BEER

IT AIN’T PRETTY
AIN’T NICE
IT’S ROUND THE CORNER
AND IT’S MY LIFE

HANGIN WITH MY BUDDIES AT THE LOCAL BAR
TO CELEBRATE MY WEDDING A NIGHT BEFORE

WE DRANK, LAUGHED AND PARTIED
TILL THE NIGHT WAS GONE
WE GOT INTO OUR CAR
WHEN SOMEBODY YELLED, “THEY GOT A GUN”!

THE COPS WERE HOT
THEY SHOT THEY SHOT THEY SHOT
THEY SHOT
FIFTY SHOTS

THAT WAS MY HOME
I GREW UP THERE
WHERE I FIT IN
WHERE I DRANK BEER

IT AIN’T PRETTY
AIN’T NICE
IT’S REAL GRITTY
BUT IT WAS MY LIFE

HANGIN WITH MY BUDDIES AT THE LOCAL BAR



SUNSHINE

I love sunshine and flowers
I love popsicles too
I love moonlight and showers
And I love you

I love rainbows in springtime
I love kitty cats too
I love you and me time
And I love you

When the sun meets the morning sky so bright
That’s when I look into your eyes and feel right

I love sunshine and flowers
I love popsicles too
I love moonlight and showers
And I love you
