Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Names carved deep in the wood grain,
Neon buzzin’ like a broke-down train.
First fake ID, first cheap beer,
That bar taught me what I am right here.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some nights wild, some nights scarred,
I grew up fast in my first bar.
[Chorus]
My first bar still lives in me,
Smoke on the walls, jukebox keys.
Heartbreak songs and a fistfight scar,
I found who I was in my first bar.
Yeah, I learned how to fall,
And how to stand tall,
In my first bar.
[Verse 2]
Cheap whiskey burn, backlot fights,
Learned how to lose, how to make it right.
She kissed me quick out behind those cars,
Then left me drunk under busted stars.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some nights wild, some nights scarred,
I found my truth in my first bar.
[Chorus]
My first bar still lives in me,
Smoke on the walls, jukebox keys.
Heartbreak songs and a fistfight scar,
I found who I was in my first bar.
Yeah, I learned how to fight,
And how to love hard,
In my first bar.
[Bridge]
It ain’t the beer, it ain’t the stage,
It’s the man I became, it’s the dues I paid.
[Final Chorus]
My first bar still lives in me,
Smoke on the walls, jukebox keys.
Heartbreak songs and a fistfight scar,
I found who I was in my first bar.
Yeah, I learned how to fall,
And how to stand tall,
In my first bar.
[Outro]
In my first bar…
