The Little Roadhouse Tavern Burned Down

[Verse] Well, the little roadhouse tavern stood proud on Highway Nine, A place where folks would gather, drink their whiskey, beer, and wine. The jukebox played till midnight, boots scuffed the old wood floor, But now it’s just a memory, it won’t be there no more. [Chorus] The little roadhouse tavern burned down last Saturday night, The flames lit up the heavens, turned the darkness into light. We stood there on the gravel, watched it crumble to the ground, The little roadhouse tavern burned down in our small town. [Verse] The bartender, old Charlie, he barely made it out, He said he smelled the smoke and heard the fire's angry shout. The neon sign was sparking, the roof began to cave, But no one saved the tavern, not a soul could brave the blaze. [Chorus] The little roadhouse tavern burned down last Saturday night, The flames lit up the heavens, turned the darkness into light. We stood there on the gravel, watched it crumble to the ground, The little roadhouse tavern burned down in our small town. [Bridge] The band was set to play that night, the crowd was gonna cheer, But fate had other plans, my friend, and left us all in tears. The laughter and the music, the memories we made, They’re ashes in the wind now, where the fire’s embers stayed. [Chorus] The little roadhouse tavern burned down last Saturday night, The flames lit up the heavens, turned the darkness into light. We stood there on the gravel, watched it crumble to the ground, The little roadhouse tavern burned down in our small town.
