I Finally Passed The Bar, lyric by Michael Peterson

from the songs album Michael Peterson

(michael peterson & travis tritt)
(michael peterson/michael puryear/buddy brook)

There's a party in my honor, at my house tonight
A few of my ol' drinking buddies will be droppin' by
They'll come to celebrate my graduation
After eight long years, of higher education

So here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar

I've got an awful lot of memories, that i can't recall
But i know from those old stories
I must have had a ball
With the money that i spent on my tuition
(what would you do hoss)
Well i could retire and spend the rest of my life fishin'
(oh well)

Here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar

I was first in my class
To the bottom of a glass
But it was killin' me
I used to get loaded
But now i've been voted
Most likely to succeed

Here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar
I can't believe at last

I finally passed the bar
