[Verse 1]
...Play my cards right
 
  +
All the ladies of the canyon
Photo-free exits from baby's bedside
 
  +
Wearing black to the house parties
  +
Wine is flowing with Bacardi
  +
But sometimes girls just want to have fun
  +
The poetry inside of me is warm like a gun
   
  +
[Chorus]
  +
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
  +
It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
 
Photo free exits from baby's bedside
 
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
 
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I'm just tryin' to keep my love alive
+
I am just tryna keep my love alive
 
With my bartender hold me all night
 
Bartender, our love's alive, baby remember
  +
I'm not drinking wine, but the cherry coke
  +
You said is fine our love's sweet up and on the vine
  +
Bartender, bart-tender
   
  +
[Verse 2]
With my bartender, hold me all night
 
  +
All the ladies of the canyon
Bartender, our love's alive
 
  +
Wearing white for the tea parties
Baby, remember...
 
  +
Playing games of reputation
  +
Meditating in the garden
  +
And I love the little games that we play
  +
From the valley to the beach
  +
The day is done, I grab my keys
  +
  +
[Chorus]
  +
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
  +
It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right

Photo free exits from baby's bedside

Bartender, our love's alive, baby remember

I'm not drinking wine but the cherry coke

You said is fine and our love's sweet and up on the vine

Bart-tender, bart-tender, bart-tender

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
  +
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
  +
60 mph, on PCH drive, head along Long Beach to New Port
  +
As I don't yet know where I reside
  +
60 miles from the last place I hide with my bart-tender
  +
Hold me all night, bart-tender, keep love alive, bart-tender

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the ladies of the canyon
Wearing black to the house parties
Wine is flowing with Bacardi
But sometimes girls just want to have fun
The poetry inside of me is warm like a gun

[Chorus]
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
Photo free exits from baby's bedside
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I am just tryna keep my love alive
With my bartender hold me all night
Bartender, our love's alive, baby remember
I'm not drinking wine, but the cherry coke
You said is fine our love's sweet up and on the vine
Bartender, bart-tender

[Verse 2]
All the ladies of the canyon
Wearing white for the tea parties
Playing games of reputation
Meditating in the garden
And I love the little games that we play
From the valley to the beach
The day is done, I grab my keys

[Chorus]
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
Photo free exits from baby's bedside
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I am just tryna keep my love alive
With my bartender hold me all night
Bartender, our love's alive, baby remember
I'm not drinking wine but the cherry coke
You said is fine and our love's sweet and up on the vine
Bart-tender, bart-tender, bart-tender
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
I bought me a track in the middle of the night
60 mph, on PCH drive, head along Long Beach to New Port
As I don't yet know where I reside
60 miles from the last place I hide with my bart-tender
Hold me all night, bart-tender, keep love alive, bart-tender
