(Verse 1)
Down in Meriweather County, where the sun sets low,
Stood a little wooden tavern, where the good folks used to go.
Kerry Hardy was the owner, with a heart as big as gold,
But one fateful night, the story's about to unfold.
(Chorus)
Oh, Ole Kerry Hardy's Bar, where the laughter filled the air,
With the jukebox playing tunes, and the folks without a care.
But the evil Fire Chief Thad, he had a different plan,
Locked the door from the inside, said, "This can't stand!"
(Verse 2)
Thad Dixon came a-knockin', with a scowl upon his face,
Said, "Kerry, you’re breaking rules, you’re putting lives at stake."
But the truth was in the air, and the townsfolk gathered 'round,
They knew that Ole Kerry's heart was the best thing in this town.
(Chorus)
Oh, Ole Kerry Hardy's Bar, where the laughter filled the air,
With the jukebox playing tunes, and the folks without a care.
But the evil Fire Chief Thad, he had a different plan,
Locked the door from the inside, said, "This can't stand!"
(Bridge)
So they rose up in the moonlight, with a fire in their eyes,
Chased that tyrant Thad Dixon, under the starry skies.
With their voices loud and proud, they stood side by side,
For the love of Ole Kerry, they wouldn’t let it slide.
(Verse 3)
Now Thad ran from the town, with his tail tucked in shame,
While the people cheered for Kerry, singing out his name.
They opened up the doors wide, let the good times flow,
In Ole Kerry Hardy's Bar, where the love would always grow.
(Chorus)
Oh, Ole Kerry Hardy's Bar, where the laughter filled the air,
With the jukebox playing tunes, and the folks without a care.
No more evil Fire Chief Thad, just the spirit of the land,
In Ole Kerry Hardy's Bar, together we will stand.
(Outro)
So if you find yourself in Meriweather, stop in for a drink,
Raise a glass to Ole Kerry, and the town that would not blink.
For in the heart of every story, there’s a lesson to be told,
That love and unity can shine brighter than gold.
