about

If you’ve not been to Jack’s bar, don’t go, you won’t like it. If you have, likelier than not we’ve seen you there. A rare quiet room, acoustically engineered to compel that old pass-time, quiet conversation. This is our ode to it, for you, from us. And we’ve got your first round, next time we’re all there.

lyrics

If you knew a bar where you could work off a twenty
With an invited friend and have him not spend any.
Wouldn't you be there whenever you're able?
You'd rush through the scrub up and clearing the table.
And kiss your old lady and tell her so long
Or throw an arm 'round her and bring her along.
If you knew the bar could you tell me I'm wrong?

If you knew some people who'd be there more than others
And one who last evening your drinks all had covered.
Who once drove down from Boston with a six pack of beer
When the doctor said all of your tests came back clear.
And sometimes there's only one old man alone
He sips Rolling Rock and sits there like a stone.
'Cause sometimes a bar is as sad as a home.

Doors will be closed if it's slow by eleven
There's a fishing trip planned the next morning at seven.
And me I'll be walking through the old parts of town
Humming a line from an old song I found.
Melody might be the one thing it lacks
'Cause don't you know they don't play music at Jack's!
