i took a stab at it....PM me for sound file of it..
FOOL'S BAR AND GRILLE Larry Gatlin
I was drivin' down the highway, not much on my mind when out of the corner of my eye I saw a little home-made sign I ain't been able to forget it, I don't think I ever will it said "TURN RIGHT HERE - for the Fool's Bar And Grille."
I ain't had myself a drink, it's been quite a spell I was dyin' a whole faster back then life goin' straight to hell but I thought the whole thing over and I said I believe I will stop in for just one at the Fool's Bar And Grille
Smoke and music hit me when I walked the door there was a jukebox in the corner and sawdust on the floor a lot of smilin' faces on [??] half empty glasses and totally empty eyes
so I pulled up a barstool and ordered myself a coke couple of the customers laughed out loud they thought it was a joke I took one sip and I put it down I purty much had my fill of the the good life at the Fool's Bar And Grille
paid the man behind the bar and I took one sip more I took one last look around the bar then I headed for the door I said a prayer for the lonely people who are probably sittin there still if not for the grace of God I'd be sittin' there still living and dyin, but mostly dyin' right there at the Fool's Bar And Grille
