Dust on the bar and a flickering light
Everybody talking but nobody’s right
Typing little wars from a king-size bed
Too scared to say it face-to-face instead

Bartender wiping down another long night
Watching lonely people disappear in blue light
Everybody connected but nobody’s free
Drowning in opinions and anxiety

Chorus

You can’t pour tequila through a computer screen
Can’t clink the glass, can’t say what you mean
Can’t shake a hand when the world goes cold
Can’t hug somebody with a Wi-Fi code
If we’re gonna heal this mess we’re in
Somebody’s gotta walk back in
’Cause you can’t pour tequila
Through a computer screen

Little black phones got everybody mean
Acting like prophets from a gasoline dream
Mama quit calling, buddies quit stopping by
Now the whole world argues digitally at night

Old jukebox playing Merle through the smoke
Truth sounds better when real people joke
Maybe salvation ain’t some grand big plan
Maybe it starts with listening again

Bridge

So put the damn phone down for one more round
Find some lost souls still hanging around
Truth ain’t living inside a feed
It’s sitting across from you drinking cheap whiskey

Final Chorus

You can’t pour tequila through a computer screen
Can’t fake the fire of human beings
Can’t laugh that hard through a set of keys
Can’t build a memory digitally
If we’re gonna save what’s left of us
It starts with showing up in person tonight
’Cause you can’t pour tequila
Through a computer screen

I love the lyrics to this one. You have a habit of telling it how it is in a very poetic way. Great vocal. Hard to offer crits when something's this good. A terrific song.

Nope, nothing replaces the real-life experiences

Yeah we still have bartenders in small towns
