So Many Bars

Melvin Van Peebles

[Intro]
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm

[Chorus]
There's so many bars I ain't never been in
Rivers I ain't seen
Mountains I ain't cross
And spaces I ain't dream

[Verse 1]
Laos ain't nothin' but a lie
Nothin' but a lie
So why should I look for some straight row
Some pot of gold at the end of the rainbows?
Nothin' but a lie

[Chorus]
There's so many bars I ain't never been in
Rivers I ain't seen
Mountains I ain't cross
And spaces I ain't dream

[Verse 2]
And between a woman's breasts
Is the thickest stones you can ever lay your head on
The thickest stones I ever seen
So full of lies, so full of lies

[Chorus]
There's so many bars I ain't never been in
Rivers I ain't seen
Mountains I ain't cross
And spaces I ain't dream

[Bridge]
Woo!
(Hey, girl!)
Woo!
(Dig this! I'm gonna leg off in there)
(Get your leg down, girl!)
(Go child, it's warm in this one
Did you hear what he said?
He felt like to your bum)
Swingin' doors and laughter
Smokin' rooms and sootie ping
Yes lord, lord, lord

[Verse 3]
But when she smiles, seems like the truth
Maybe it's just a dream
But it seem like the getting-on truth to me
Can't be no lie, couldn't be no lie

[Verse 4]
Who cares how many bars are to visit
Or rivers to be seen
Mountains to be crossed
And the only space I wanna dream
Is in your arms, it's your arms around me
All the bars, rivers, mountains and spaces
A man could ever dream
Is all right there in that moment
When you got your arms around me
When you've just taken off your special boots
And you're grinnin' up at me

[Chorus]
There's so many bars I ain't ever been in
Rivers I ain't seen
Mountains I ain't cross
And spaces I ain't dream
Oh yeah
