The copper bar
When polished correctly
Could reflect your face

The copper bar
Held up
Our drinks, food, sleepy heads and dreams

The copper bar
Was neutral ground
Where we were all equal

The copper bar
Was where I sat
As I watched the storm roll in

The copper bar
Was where I learned
Certain friends will always stop to help

The copper bar
Was where I first saw
A body shot off of a beautiful blond

The copper bar
I swore on
To never try coke or meth

The copper bar
That’s no longer there
Just a scar in the floor

The copper bar
And it’s brassy glow
Shines still on the memory of my 20s
