Neil Young - Barstool Blues Lyrics

If I could hold on
to just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow.

Burn off all the fog
And let the sun
through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before I have to go.

I have seen you in the movies
And in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when
You held that glass so tight.

And I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means.

Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats.
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths.

I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means

One of my favorite Neil tunes.

I love the solo, so wild!

Absolutely fantastic
This is real music
Neil will play forever

wooooaaahh Neil...too many good songs....I don't know if we handle it ...but thanks..

First time i've heard this. Reminds me of Mr. McGuinn..💙🌵

Nice 👍

Good time's.

The best song from Zuma, except for Cortez the Killer!

I obviously love this song.

And I obviously love your choice!!!😎 Peace out!

Great song to scream along when you have a bad voice.

That guitar sound at the end is so sweet.The best to ever do it in my eyes.

What about your ears?

Zuma is one of Neil Young's great albums, only surpassed by After The Gold Rush .....

what a rockin song! I still love it....I'm putting this record back in my top favorite records of all time!

This is really an overlooked gem from his 70's material

the whole album!!

Totally agree.

one of his Best!
