George's Bar

My brother and I used to go down to Georges Bar
 We'd drink Big O's until they closed down the place
 We'd talk about our lifelong ambition
 I still recall the smile upon his face
 He took off for the bright lights down in Austin
 Said Pat don't you know there ain't no money here
 He made a million bucks selling computers
 I still go to George's and drink my beer
 He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
 He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
 There was this curly headed girl back in the seventh grade
 She didn't even know she caught my eye
 We dated for a little while back in high school
 I thought that one day she'd be my wife
 The road took a turn somewhere around 18
 She took off to find her own way
 Fell in for some Nashville high roller
 I know he's gonna break her heart one day
 She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
 She's gone, yeah she's gone but I'm still here
 I used to go to my grandpas house every Sunday
 We'd watch thos football games on TV
 Sit around and sometimes he'd tell me stories
 About how simple life used to be
 My grandpa died a year ago last Sunday
 I thought to myself he was one a helluva man
 And I know when the darkness surrounds me
 He reaches out and he takes my hand
 He's gone, yeah he's gone but I'm still here
 He's gone, he mabye gone, I swear to God that he's still here
