The Wanna Wanna Bar Owen Temple
A seagull cry a [C]child laughs an[G] old man orders a[D] drink
[G]It’s been ten years since[C] he got here a[G]nd it hurts to t[D]hink
[G]That years ago at this bea[C]chside bar a w[G]oman held his h[D]and
[G]And he lost his chance for t[C]rue romance on So[D]uth Padre Isla[G]nd
[G]Well the woman’s name was Ma[C]ry Ann and[G] Gary loved her [D]so
[G]He said be my wife for the r[C]est of your life and s[D]he said no[G]
[G]Well old Gary he was from [C]Indiana all his l[G]ife a travellin’ m[D]an
[G]He had a dog and a boat and[C] he would float and f[D]ish around that old[G] island
[G]He’s stuck at Wanna Wanna the be[C]achfront bar si[G]ppin’ on a coke and r[D]um
[G]The tide rolls in his dr[C]eams die out wai[G]tin’ on a lo[D]ve that won’t[G] come
[G]True love n[D]ever will c[G]ome
[G]Years ago in Cali[C]fornia Ga[G]ry loved a girl named[D] Sue
[G]She and three more wives t[C]old him lies whe[D]n they said I d[G]o
[G]And this last one took th[C]e money and the t[G]hings Cary cared a[D]bout
[G]She took the dog and the boat now [C]he can’t float cau[D]se she walked ou[G]t
[G]Gary looks out at th[C]e Gulf a[G]nd he squints his [D]eyes
[G]Thinkin’ again of what [C]might have been with[D]out them hard goo[G]dbyes
[G]But Gary’s got lots of st[C]ories about peo[G]ple and places he’s b[D]een
[G]“Yeah I’ve had a few of them go[C]od times too” he sa[D]id with a gr[G]in
[G]And Gary’s still down there o[C]n Padre a lit[G]tle sad but he’s[D] alright
[G]If you head this way on some [C]Sunday he’ll dri[D]nk with you all ni[G]ght
