high bar

                                   © words and music :   garnett betts

lost in the back   –  yellow cab

midnight  –  tequila flight

kicked off your shoes

and old town blues  –  “reinvacation”

new slice of life for you

southern stars – ‘bove the palapa

no single malt – and they don’t grappa

the chairs are plastic

the “no redono band’s”fantastic!

no more working for nada

for you!

  chorus :

   you just stepped up to the high bar

   and it’s got a long reach

   it’ll draft you into service

   only got one purpose

   lift  you higher, lift you higher

   let the high bar

   light up your low beach

   there’s a flag on the play

   life’s a circus

   but now you’re living

   for just one purpose

   at the high bar

               at the high bar

 bridge :

       some roll in and out so low

       chase their vacance escape

       just a few are just like you

       a rogue wave about to break

chorus :

   up to the high bar

   got that long reach

   draft you into service

   only got one purpose

   lift  you higher, lift you higher

   let the high bar

   light up your low beach

   there’s a flag on the play

   life’s a circus

   but now you’re living

   for just one purpose

   at the high bar

   I know you’re at the high bar

let the stars align

  relax resign

    you’re just breaking

      on to the upside 

   up to the high bar

   got that long reach

   draft you into service

   only got one purpose

   lift  you higher, lift you higher

   let the high bar

   light up your low beach

   there’s a flag on the play

   life’s a circus

   but now you’re living

   for just one purpose

   at the high bar

   I know you’re at the high bar

   I can just see you at the high bar

can’t  tell  you the way

  to go home

    from the high

      from that high bar
