BARSTOOL BUDDY

[Verse 1] 
Every Friday night at half past seven 
I pull up to that neon heaven 
Where the jukebox plays and the beer runs cold 
And my best friend's sitting in the seat he's always known 
We don't need no fancy reservation 
Just two stools and good conversation
He waves me over with that knowing grin 
And just like that, the weekend begins

[Chorus] 
He's my barstool buddy, my Friday night friend 
The one who's been there through thick and thin 
We laugh about life, we solve the world's problems too 
Talk about our families and what we're going through 
Don't matter if we see things different sometimes 
We respect each other, we draw the line 
Between what's right and wrong, we stand our ground 
My barstool buddy, best friend I've found

[Verse 2] 
We joke about our wives and how they're always right 
About that fishing trip and the one that got away that night 
He ribs me 'bout my truck, I tease him 'bout his hair 
But when the chips are down, we both know we're there 
We talk about our kids and how fast they grow 
The dreams we had and the paths we chose 
Sometimes we're quiet, just watching the game 
But the comfort of silence says more than words can say

[Chorus] 
He's my barstool buddy, my Friday night friend 
The one who's been there through thick and thin 
We laugh about life, we solve the world's problems too 
Talk about our families and what we're going through 
Don't matter if we see things different sometimes 
We respect each other, we draw the line 
Between what's right and wrong, we stand our ground 
My barstool buddy, best friend I've found

[Bridge] 
Now politics, well that's a tricky road 
He leans one way, I lean another, truth be told 
But we learned a long time ago, sitting side by side 
That friendship's bigger than the great divide 
We don't let talking heads on TV screens 
Come between what this friendship means 
We shake our heads at all the hate they spread 
We'd rather talk about what matters instead

[Verse 3] 
We believe in honesty, hard work, and family first 
In helping out your neighbor when they're going through the worst 
In keeping your word and standing tall 
In picking each other up whenever we fall 
We don't agree on everything under the sun 
But we agree on what it means to be a good man, son 
To love your wife, raise your kids right 
To do what's moral, even when it ain't easy in the fight

[Chorus] 
He's my barstool buddy, my Friday night friend 
The one who's been there through thick and thin 
We laugh about life, we solve the world's problems too 
Talk about our families and what we're going through 
Don't matter if we see things different sometimes 
We respect each other, we draw the line 
Between what's right and wrong, we stand our ground 
My barstool buddy, best friend I've found

[Final Verse] 
So here's to the men who show up every week 
Who listen more than they speak 
Who know that friendship's built on trust and time 
Not on whether we vote the same party line 
In this crazy world that tries to tear us apart 
We hold onto what matters in our hearts 
Two men, two stools, and a bond that's true 
That's what real friendship will do

[Outro] 
Yeah, he's my barstool buddy My Friday night friend 
And I'll be sitting here waiting Next Friday again
