The lyrics, “God made the world in seven short days, said it was good, I bet it was great. But He didn’t make no place to go when she breaks your heart. So, man made a bar,” encapsulate the essence of country music – raw, real, and relatable.

Man Made A Bar Lyrics

I sat down on a barstool, like a darn fool‘Cause she walked out againBartender said, “I got youYeah, ’cause I, too, have been in your boots, my friend

Opened up back in ’85, got me over my first wifeBeen stayin’ busy since the first nightIt’s a story old as time”

God made the world in seven short daysHe said it was good, I bet it was greatAnd God made a man, the man got lonely

He said, “Please, Lord, if I could only have an angel to hold in my arms”

So God made a girl, his best work of artOh, but he didn’t make no place to go when she breaks your heartSo man madе a bar

For some guys it’s a good timeThe half pricе, half dozen buckets of beerSome say it’s a cover band, that’s a cover manI know why they’re here

It didn’t go the way he planned itDamn, the devil did some damn things

So God made the world in seven short daysHe said it was good, I bet it was greatAnd God made man, the man got lonelyHe said, “Please, Lord, if I could only have an angel to hold in my arms”

So God made a girl, his best work of artOh, but he didn’t make no place to go when she breaks your heartSo man made a barYeah, man made a bar

Sometimes an angel falls too hardLoses more than just a piece of her heartAnd she needs a place to go and make a brand new star

God made the world in seven short daysHe said it was good, I bet it was greatAnd God made man, the man got lonelyHe said, “Please, Lord, if I could only have an angel to hold in my arms”

So God made a girl, his best work of artOh, but he didn’t make no place to go when she breaks your heartSo man made a bar

Man made a barYeah, man made a bar
