The 2nd Worst Bar In Town

Weekly Writing Prompt: The Last Best Place
Howdy folks! A quick iPhone recording from the beach. We played Sing Out Loud Music Festival this Sunday at the Colonial Oaks Music Park in St. Augustine. It was HOT.

"The Last Best Place" reminded me of the quote, “Second place is the first loser”. 

I guess that snarky ass reaction is where this song sprung from. 


2nd worst bar in town
Can't get much lower if you're already down
Double fisted, heart in tow
It’s the Last Best Place you know

Where spirits meet
Sorrows blend
Sometimes stirred
Or left shaken
It’s the Last Best Place you know

Neon lights gassed out long ago
Juke box plays a bit too slow
Slurs its words from across the bar
Video killed the radio star

Spirits meet
Sorrows blend
Sometimes stirred
Or left shaken
It’s the Last Best Place you know

The happiest hour ain’t happy at all
A sign from above that says it all
Repeat after me so its loud and clear
'You don’t have to go home but you…..'

A happy lil’ rainbow sliver on a peaceful walk on the beach.
