connie's bar

on a winter's day down in alachua

exploring the florida fields

bob said to drop down for a meal if we felt like it

we were not too sure if we found the spot

not a place that we'd usually go

it had blacked out windows and motorbikes outside it

well we walked inside

there were neon lights and we asked her for a beer

she said what are you doing here and she was smiling

well they don't wear suits

and they play rough cards

they have old tattoos and faded scars

but you do know where you are

in connie's bar

she said that she was a canada girl

and she told us her momma was sick

didn't know if she'd get back before it took her

well the borders tough

yeah she'd had enough

the election changed some things

didn't know if that would mean she had to go home

well i overheard her speak some words about her old man

said he used to wear a patch a long way back

well they don't wear suits

and they play rough cards

they have old tattoos and faded scars

but you do know where you are

in connie's bar

i felt safe in that place

i felt wild and free and brave

well i left that bar singing amazing grace

well they don't wear suits

and they play rough cards

they have old tattoos and faded scars

but you do know where you are
