They come here To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer They?re in need of a mindbender I?m a bartender At the end of the day I?m all they?ve got Hope on the rocks Verse: Charlie?s wife filed for divorce And Charlie bought a quarter horse and now he’s ridin’ fences mmmmm Upside down and couldn?t pay They hauled Sue’s mobile home away And we ain?t seen her since Verse: Larry?s long time fiance’ Got kicked out of the P.T.A. And moved her kids back east with someone else All and the ones you used to know Don?t drop in or say hello But you ask yourself I know you ask yourself Where do they go? They come here To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer They?re in need of a mindbender I?m a bartender At the end of the day I?m all they?ve got Hope on the rocks Instrumental: Where do they go? They come here To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer They?re in need of a mindbender I?m a bartender At the end of the day I?m all they?ve got Hope on the rocks noo ooh oo-oh oh yeah yeah

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire de personnes qui traversent des moments difficiles dans leur vie, cherchant refuge dans un bar. Chacune d'entre elles a connu des désillusions : un espoir déçu dans le sport, des pertes familiales ou des séparations. Dans cet endroit, elles tentent d'échapper à leur douleur en se perdant dans l'alcool et en cherchant un semblant de réconfort. Le narrateur, qui est le barman, se retrouve au cœur de ces récits tragiques, offrant une oreille attentive et une présence pour ceux qui souffrent. Au fil des histoires, il devient le dernier recours de ces âmes en quête d'espoir, malgré leurs luttes.
