bartender tiffany

Lyrics

Verse 1
Every Friday night at a quarter past nine,
I take my usual stool and bide my time.
There she is behind the bar beneath the neon light,
Making every broken heart feel alright.
Got a lip piercing shining like a silver star,
Hair in a loose bun while she's tending the bar.
She walks across the room like she owns the whole town,
And every head turns when she comes around.
Chorus
Oh, Tiffany, bartender Tiffany,
You don't know what you do to me.
When I ask for water, you smile and laugh,
And that little moment keeps bringing me back.
But your girlfriend's got her arm around you tonight,
Holding you close underneath those lights.
So I'll sit here dreaming over whiskey and tunes,
Wondering if I'll get my chance with you.
Verse 2
She remembers my name when the place gets loud,
Even with a hundred people in the crowd.
Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's all in my mind,
But I hold onto every little sign.
The band's playing country, the dance floor's alive,
And there you are making this old heart drive.
Toward a road that I know might never unwind,
Still I can't leave these feelings behind.
Chorus
Oh, Tiffany, bartender Tiffany,
You don't know what you do to me.
When I ask for water, you smile and laugh,
And that little moment keeps bringing me back.
But your girlfriend's got her arm around you tonight,
Holding you close underneath those lights.
So I'll sit here dreaming over whiskey and tunes,
Wondering if I'll get my chance with you.
Bridge
Maybe someday life will change its course,
Maybe it won't, and I'll have no remorse.
'Cause seeing you happy is worth more than pride,
Even if I'm watching from the side.
Final Chorus
Oh, Tiffany, bartender Tiffany,
You're the best thing this town's ever seen.
Lip ring gleaming and your hair tied high,
Like a country song walking by.
So I'll raise my glass as the last call chimes,
And leave it all up to fate and time.
Till then you'll be the reason these old songs rhyme,
Sweet bartender Tiffany.
This version has a classic country-barroom feel, with Tiffany as the bartender and the narrator quietly crushing on her from across the bar.
