Verse 1: Back in the old stoppin’ grounds, after taking a break Haven’t seen my ex for a couple of years, had all I could take Time to have a beer at my old place, The Rusty Gate Same bartender, talking about the same mistakes The beer and a shot or two had me missing her too Asked the barkeep if she was still in town Is she still here?... He said, buddy just might want to turn around… Over there…She’s three stools down Chorus: Three stools down Same eyes, same smile Three stools down And I've been missing her all this while Three stools down Has it been two years? Three stools down Have I forgotten what brought me here? Verse 2: Well now what do I do? Should I go say, hey you? Probably not my best move Although these shots have me, yah know in my GROOVE Maybe I’ll get another cold one Then go tell her, I miss her a ton This kinda pressure can get to some I’m shaking inside, feeling almost NUMB Chorus: Three stools down Same eyes, same smile Three stools down And I've been missing her all this while Three stools down Has it been two years? Three stools down Have I forgotten what brought me here? Bridge: Time to ponder, time to maybe have some fear They I heard my name, and “ I’m still here” Now I took a big gulp, and had to turn around So I acted surprised and said look what you found… Final Chorus: I had really gotten what I wanted But thinking this bar is haunted We had a little chat, and I looked into those eyes She didn’t make a scene or yell to my surprise Three stools down Same eyes, same smile Three stools down And I've been missing her all this while Three stools down Has it been two years? Three stools down Have I forgotten why I came here? I guess not maybe we’ll meet She said, “ I’ll save your seat” Same time next year! Yeh, same time next year!
