[Verse 1]
EBartender I really did it this time
Broke my Bparole to have a good time
When AI got home it was 6 AM
The dBoor was locked so I kicked it in
She was tErippin’ on the bills
I think she was Bhigh on some pills
She threw my sAhit out into the yard
Then she cBalled me a bum and slapped me real hard
And Ein my drunken stupor
I did what I sBhould have never done
and now I’m sAittin’ here, talking to you
BDrunk and on the run
[Chorus]
BI’m sittin’ at a bEar on the inside
Waitin’ for my Bride on the outside
She stole my Aheart, in the trailer park
So I jDacked the keys to her fuckin’ car
BCrashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away
[Verse 2]
You know Mo I’ll pErobably get ten years
So just give me Bbeers till they get here
Yeah I Aknow the sun is comin’ up
And y'all are pBrobably gettin' ready for closin’up
But im tErying to drown my soul
Im tired of this lBife on the dirt road
And everytAhing that I love is gone
And I’m tiBred of hangin on
[Verse 3]
BShe's got me sittin’ at a Ebar on the inside
Waitin’ for my Bride on the outside
She stole my Aheart, in the trailer park
So I Djacked the keys to her fuckin’ car
And cBrashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away
[Rap]
BYes it was meEant to be Romance is misery
So much for mBemories
BAnd now I am headed to the penitentiary see me on ATV
AThe next cop series I am a dangerB  
BI guess I should have done something about my anger
But I nEever learn Real things I don’t concern
I pour kBerosene on everything I love And watch it burn
I know it’s Amy fault
But I wasn’t happy it was over She tBhrew a fit
BSo I crashed that piece of shit nova
[Verse 4]
And now I'm gEoin' back again
Back to the Bpen to see my friends
When we aAll pile out that county van
They gonna Bask me where I've been
[Chorus]
I've been at a bEar on the inside
Waitin’ for my Bride on the outside
She broke my hAeart, in the trailer park
So I jDacked the keys to her fuckin’ car
I BCrashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away
[Fades Out]
 E             B             A           B

The story behind the song

"Sittin' At A Bar" paints a picture of a man at rock bottom, confessing to a bartender that he's "drunk and on the run" after a reckless act. He's tired of his life "on the dirt road," feeling the weight of his choices and a desire for escape. From the American hip-hop group Rehab, this track reflects the raw, confessional style that emerged from the duo of Danny "Boone" Alexander and Jason "Brooks" Buford, both of whom had their own experiences with recovery. It's a song that channels the feeling of hitting a wall and the desperate hope for a way out.

[Verse 1]

Bartender I really did it this time

Broke my parole to have a good time

When I got home it was 6 AM

The door was locked so I kicked it in

She was trippin’ on the bills

I think she was high on some pills

She threw my shit out into the yard

Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard

And in my drunken stupor

I did what I should have never done

and now I’m sittin’ here, talking to you

Drunk and on the run

[Chorus]

B E

I’m sittin’ at a bar on the inside

Waitin’ for my ride on the outside

She stole my heart, in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin’ car

Crashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away

[Verse 2]

You know Mo I’ll probably get ten years

So just give me beers till they get here

Yeah I know the sun is comin’ up

And y'all are probably gettin' ready for closin’up

But im trying to drown my soul

Im tired of this life on the dirt road

And everything that I love is gone

And I’m tired of hangin on

[Verse 3]

B E

She's got me sittin’ at a bar on the inside

Waitin’ for my ride on the outside

She stole my heart, in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin’ car

And crashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away

[Rap]

B E

Yes it was meant to be Romance is misery

So much for memories

B A

And now I am headed to the penitentiary see me on TV

A B

The next cop series I am a danger

I guess I should have done something about my anger

But I never learn Real things I don’t concern

I pour kerosene on everything I love And watch it burn

I know it’s my fault

But I wasn’t happy it was over She threw a fit

So I crashed that piece of shit nova

[Verse 4]

And now I'm goin' back again

Back to the pen to see my friends

When we all pile out that county van

They gonna ask me where I've been

[Chorus]

I've been at a bar on the inside

Waitin’ for my ride on the outside

She broke my heart, in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin’ car

I Crashed that piece of shit an' then stepped away

[Fades Out]
