Lucy Spraggan - Connie’s Bar lyrics
[Lucy Spraggan - Connie’s Bar lyrics]
On a winter's day down in Alachua
Exploring the Florida fields
Bob said to drop down for a
Meal if we felt like it
We were not too sure if we found the spot
Not a place that we'd usually go
It had blacked out windows
And motorbikes outside it
Well we walked inside, there were neon lights
And we asked her for a beer she said
"What are you doing here?"
And she was smiling
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
She said that she was a Canada girl and
She told us her mama was sick
Didn't know if she'd get back
Before it took her well the border's tough
Yeah she'd had enough
The election changed some things
Didn't know if that would mean
She had to go home
Well I overheard her speak some
Words about her old man
Said he used to wear a patch a long way back
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
I felt safe in that place
I felt wild and free and brave
Well, I left that bar singing "Amazing Grace"
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
Exploring the Florida fields
Bob said to drop down for a
Meal if we felt like it
We were not too sure if we found the spot
Not a place that we'd usually go
It had blacked out windows
And motorbikes outside it
Well we walked inside, there were neon lights
And we asked her for a beer she said
"What are you doing here?"
And she was smiling
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
She said that she was a Canada girl and
She told us her mama was sick
Didn't know if she'd get back
Before it took her well the border's tough
Yeah she'd had enough
The election changed some things
Didn't know if that would mean
She had to go home
Well I overheard her speak some
Words about her old man
Said he used to wear a patch a long way back
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
I felt safe in that place
I felt wild and free and brave
Well, I left that bar singing "Amazing Grace"
Well, they don't wear suit's and
They play rough cards
They have old tattoos and faded scars
But you do know where you are in Connie's Bar
